Drought-associated woody-plant mortality has been increasing in most regions with multi-
decadal records and is projected to increase in the future, impacting terrestrial climate …

Ecosystems are dynamic systems with complex responses to environmental variation. In
response to pervasive stressors of changing climate and disturbance regimes, many …

Widespread tree mortality following droughts has emerged as an environmentally and
economically devastating 'ecological surprise'. It is well established that tree physiology is …

Widespread tree mortality associated with drought has been observed on all forested
continents and global change is expected to exacerbate vegetation vulnerability. Forest …

Patterns, mechanisms, projections, and consequences of tree mortality and associated
broad‐scale forest die‐off due to drought accompanied by warmer temperatures—“hotter …

Accumulating evidence highlights increased mortality risks for trees during severe drought,
particularly under warmer temperatures and increasing vapour pressure deficit (VPD) …

The ongoing climate change is characterized by increased temperatures and altered
precipitation patterns. In addition, there has been an increase in both the frequency and …

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 …

In this review, we address the relationship between stomatal behaviour, water potential
regulation and hydraulic transport in plants, focusing on the implications for the …

The mechanisms governing tree drought mortality and recovery remain a subject of inquiry
and active debate given their role in the terrestrial carbon cycle and their concomitant impact …
