Double stress of waterlogging and drought drives forest–savanna coexistence
Forest–savanna boundaries are ecotones that support complex ecosystem functions and
are sensitive to biotic/abiotic perturbations. What drives their distribution today and how it …

Global relationships in tree functional traits
Due to massive energetic investments in woody support structures, trees are subject to
unique physiological, mechanical, and ecological pressures not experienced by herbaceous …

Trait dimensions of abiotic stress tolerance in woody plants of the Northern Hemisphere
Aim Trade‐offs among tolerances to different abiotic stressors limit polytolerance in woody
plants. However, the general trait syndromes that underlie large‐scale tolerance patterns of …

Woody plant adaptations to multiple abiotic stressors: Where are we?
Interacting abiotic stresses exert a fundamental selective pressure on the adaptive
syndromes of long-living organisms such as woody plants. However, general patterns and …

Adaptive trait syndromes along multiple economic spectra define cold and warm adapted ecotypes in a widely distributed foundation tree species
The coordination of traits from individual organs to whole plants is under strong selection
because of environmental constraints on resource acquisition and use. However, the tight …

Ecotypic variation and stability in growth performance of the thermophilic conifer Pinus halepensis across the Mediterranean basin
The combined effects of local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity influencing plant
performance are relevant to understand the capacity for genetic responses to climate …

Rainfall continentality, via the winter Gams angle, provides a new dimension to biogeographical distributions in the western United States
Aim Drought stress has focused on water availability during the growing season, thus
primarily on summer. However, variation in rainfall continentality can produce striking …

Towards a functional phytosociology: the functional ecology of woody diagnostic species and their vegetation classes in Northern Italy
Vegetation is often classified through phytosociology, which defines floristically and
ecologically coherent units identified by diagnostic species. Since species-and community …

Higher evolutionary rates in life-history traits in insular than in mainland palms
Isolated islands, due to the reduced interspecific competition compared to mainland
habitats, present ecological opportunities for colonizing lineages. As a consequence, island …
