Aim Understanding tree mortality under climate change‐induced droughts requires
knowledge of hydraulic trait distribution across environmental gradients. The spatial …

Forests are becoming increasingly vulnerable to a range of climatic and non-climatic
stressors. Thus, the forest vulnerability assessment is crucial for identifying potential risks …

The last few decades have shown evidence of a lengthening dry season in southern
Amazonia, which is associated with a delay in the onset of the South American Monsoon …

Evolutionary radiations of woody taxa within arid environments were made possible by
multiple trait innovations including deep roots and embolism‐resistant xylem, but little is …

The typical seasonally dry forests in Southeast Asia are the mixed deciduous forest (MDF),
dry dipterocarp (deciduous) forest (DDF), and dry evergreen forest (DEF). We obtained 21 …

Tropical forest responses to variation in water availability, which are critical for
understanding and predicting the effects of climate change, depend on trait variation among …

Amazon forests are characterized by rich structural diversity. However, the influence of
factors such as topography, soil attributes, and external disturbances on structural variability …

Tropical moist forests are not the homogeneous green carpet often illustrated in maps or
considered by global models. They harbour a complex mixture of forest types organized at …

A systematic synthesis of phreatophytes' responses to groundwater drawdown would
provide a more complete picture of groundwater-related research aimed at the sustainable …

Topographic heterogeneity and lateral subsurface flow at the hillslope scale of≤ 1 km may
have outsized impacts on tropical forest through their impacts on water available to plants …
