Herein we review the current state‐of‐the‐art of plant hydraulics in the context of plant
physiology, ecology, and evolution, focusing on current and future research opportunities …

Future increases in drought severity and frequency are predicted to have substantial impacts
on plant function and survival. However, there is considerable uncertainty concerning what …

Trait variability in space and time allows plants to adjust to changing environmental
conditions. However, we know little about how this variability is distributed and coordinated …

Shifts in rainfall patterns and increasing temperatures associated with climate change are
likely to cause widespread forest decline in regions where droughts are predicted to …

Hydraulic failure is one of the main causes of tree mortality in conditions of severe drought.
Resistance to cavitation is known to be strongly related to drought tolerance and species …

Comparative studies of the divergence of quantitative traits and neutral molecular markers,
known as Q ST–F ST comparisons, provide a means for researchers to distinguish between …

Increasing temperatures and drought risks through climate change are expected to have
several consequences for European forests. Adaptive strategies may include:(i) persistence …

As temperatures warm and precipitation patterns shift as a result of climate change, interest
in the identification of tree genotypes that will thrive under more arid conditions has grown …

Develo** adaptation measures in forestry is an urgent task because the forests
regenerated today will have to cope with climate conditions that may drastically change …

Drought-induced cavitation resistance varies considerably between tree species and forest
ecosystems (Maherali et al., 2004; Delzon et al., 2010) and is closely linked to survival under …
