The detection and monitoring of drought stress in plants growing in their natural habitat are
essential for the study of plant stress physiology. However, with the advent of plant …

Trees are at risk of mortality during extreme drought, yet our understanding of the traits that
govern the timing of drought-induced hydraulic failure remains limited. To address this, we …

Climate extremes and biotic interactions at the neighbourhood scale affect tropical forest
dynamics with long‐term consequences for biodiversity, global carbon cycling and climate …

In woody plants, bark is an important protective tissue which can participate in
photosynthesis, manage water loss, and transport assimilates. Studying the bark anatomical …

Key message Models of bark thickness and trunk cavity occurrence improve allometry
assessments and provide good indicators of the probability of tree decay or vitality …

Coexisting vegetation types in tropical landscapes can respond in contrasting ways to
rainfall, despite being in the same climatic envelope. Understanding such heterogeneity in …

The properties of bark and xylem contribute to tree growth and survival under drought and
other types of stress conditions. However, little is known about the functional coordination of …

The increase in frequency and intensity of drought events have hampered coffee production
in the already threatened Amazon region, yet little is known about key aspects underlying …

Abstract Knowledge of the physiological mechanisms underlying species vulnerability to
drought is critical for better understanding patterns of tree mortality. Investigating plant …

Despite the abundant evidence of impairments to plant performance and survival under
hotter‐drought conditions, little is known about the vulnerability of reproductive organs to …
