Xylem cavitation during drought is proposed as a major driver of canopy collapse, but the
mechanistic link between hydraulic failure and leaf damage in trees is still uncertain. Here …

Drought has become a global concern due to the climate-change. Here, the effects of
Claroiedoglomus etunicatum inoculation (F 1) and without inoculation (F 0) and silicon …

The severity of droughts is expected to increase with climate change, leading to more
frequent tree mortality and a decline in forest ecosystem services. Consequently, there is an …

Capsicum annuum varieties are highly sensitive to drought. Under water stress conditions,
these can show yield losses of up to 70%. Due to the above, this work proposes a novel …

Real-time assessment of trunk growth is vital for understanding tree growth fluctuation,
especially under irrigation application and other environmental factors. Accurate trunk …

Vapor pressure deficit (VPD) shows a gradually increasing trend that forces trees to produce
ecological memory with time-delay characteristics to drought year by year. The reversible …

Stem diameter growth in living trees refers to the invariably increase in dimension over a
given period. However, reversible stem diameter decrease could occur, related to water …

Humic substances (HS) have been widely used and investigated in several horticultural
crops. Most HS used are in liquid form with fast and early releasing effects, while studies on …

Water scarcity threatens agricultural production in arid growing regions around the globe,
and changing climatic conditions are expected to exacerbate this situation. To optimize …

Droughts are a growing threat to forests across the world. In Aotearoa New Zealand, over
80% of indigenous tree species are endemic, including kauri (Agathis australis), one of the …
