We review results from field experiments that simulate drought, an ecologically impactful
global change threat that is predicted to increase in magnitude, extent, duration and …

Generalizing the effect of traits on performance across species may be achievable if traits
explain variation in population fitness. However, testing relationships between traits and vital …

Tree mortality during global‐change‐type drought is usually attributed to xylem dysfunction,
but as climate change increases the frequency of extreme heat events, it is necessary to …

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 …

Climate change is expected to exacerbate drought for many plants, making drought
tolerance a key driver of species and ecosystem responses. Plant drought tolerance is …

More accurate and precise phenoty** strategies are necessary to empower high-
resolution linkage map** and genome-wide association studies and for training genomic …

The physiological challenges posed by climate change for seasonal, perennial plants
include increased risk of heat waves, postbudbreak freezing ('false springs'), and droughts …

The concept of iso‐vs. anisohydry has been used to describe the stringency of stomatal
regulation of plant water potential (ψ). However, metrics that accurately and consistently …

Many species face increasing drought under climate change. Plasticity has been predicted
to strongly influence species' drought responses, but broad patterns in plasticity have not …

Plant traits can provide unique insights into plant performance at the community scale.
Functional composition, defined by both functional diversity and community‐weighted trait …
