Linking plant hydraulics and the fast–slow continuum to understand resilience to drought in tropical ecosystems
Tropical ecosystems have the highest levels of biodiversity, cycle more water and absorb
more carbon than any other terrestrial ecosystem on Earth. Consequently, these ecosystems …

[HTML][HTML] A first assessment of the impact of the extreme 2018 summer drought on Central European forests
Abstract In 2018, Central Europe experienced one of the most severe and long-lasting
summer drought and heat wave ever recorded. Before 2018, the 2003 millennial drought …

Plant resistance to drought depends on timely stomatal closure
Stomata play a significant role in the Earth's water and carbon cycles, by regulating gaseous
exchanges between the plant and the atmosphere. Under drought conditions, stomatal …

Evapotranspiration: A process driving mass transport and energy exchange in the soil‐plant‐atmosphere‐climate system
The role of evapotranspiration (ET) in the global, continental, regional, and local water
cycles is reviewed. Elevated atmospheric CO2, air temperature, vapor pressure deficit (D) …

Universal hydraulics of the flowering plants: vessel diameter scales with stem length across angiosperm lineages, habits and climates
Angiosperm hydraulic performance is crucially affected by the diameters of vessels, the
water conducting conduits in the wood. Hydraulic optimality models suggest that vessels …

Mixed stands reduce Abies alba tree-ring sensitivity to summer drought in the Vosges mountains, western Europe
In most dendroecological studies, climate–tree growth relationships are established for trees
growing on pure stands. However, response to climate may be affected by inter-species …
