The poorly‐explored stomatal response to temperature at constant evaporative demand
Abstract Changes in leaf temperature are known to drive stomatal responses, because the
leaf‐to‐air water vapour gradient (Δw) increases with temperature if ambient vapour …

Global tree intrinsic water use efficiency is enhanced by increased atmospheric CO2 and modulated by climate and plant functional types
We conducted a meta-analysis of carbon and oxygen isotopes from tree ring chronologies
representing 34 species across 10 biomes to better understand the environmental drivers …

Components of leaf‐trait variation along environmental gradients
Leaf area (LA), mass per area (LMA), nitrogen per unit area (Narea) and the leaf‐internal to
ambient CO2 ratio (χ) are fundamental traits for plant functional ecology and vegetation …

Do stomata optimize turgor‐driven growth? A new framework for integrating stomata response with whole‐plant hydraulics and carbon balance
Every existing optimal stomatal model uses photosynthetic carbon assimilation as a proxy
for plant evolutionary fitness. However, assimilation and growth are often decoupled, making …

Compiled records of atmospheric CO2 concentrations and stable carbon isotopes to reconstruct climate and derive plant ecophysiological indices from tree rings
The stable carbon isotopic composition (δ 13 C) measured in tree rings is a standard proxy
for paleoclimate reconstructions and is increasingly being used as a paleophysiological …

Coordination of plant hydraulic and photosynthetic traits: confronting optimality theory with field measurements
Close coupling between water loss and carbon dioxide uptake requires coordination of plant
hydraulics and photosynthesis. However, there is still limited information on the quantitative …
