Severe droughts have caused widespread tree mortality across many forest biomes with
profound effects on the function of ecosystems and carbon balance. Climate change is …

Plant trait variation drives plant function, community composition and ecosystem processes.
However, our current understanding of trait variation disproportionately relies on …

Global warming and associated precipitation changes will negatively impact on many
agricultural ecosystems. Major food production areas are expected to experience reduced …

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 …

Stomatal responses to humidity, soil moisture and other factors that influence plant water
status are critical drivers of photosynthesis, productivity, water yield, ecohydrology and …

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 …

We present unresolved questions in plant abiotic stress biology as posed by 15 research
groups with expertise spanning eco-physiology to cell and molecular biology. Common …

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 …

The Science of Grapevines, Third Edition reflects the latest insights into cultivar
relationships, vascular transport, hormone action, and stress responses of grapevines …

Tree mortality rates appear to be increasing in moist tropical forests (MTF s) with significant
carbon cycle consequences. Here, we review the state of knowledge regarding MTF tree …
