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

Globally, collapse of ecosystems—potentially irreversible change to ecosystem structure,
composition and function—imperils biodiversity, human health and well‐being. We examine …

Understanding which species are able to recover from drought, under what conditions, and
the mechanistic processes involved, will facilitate predictions of plant mortality in response to …

Although transpiration‐driven transport of xylem sap is well known to operate under
absolute negative pressure, many terrestrial, vascular plants show positive xylem pressure …

Climate models predict widespread increases in both drought intensity and duration in the
next decades. Although water deficiency is a significant determinant of plant survival, limited …

The evolution of terrestrial plants capable of growing upwards into the dry atmosphere
profoundly transformed the Earth. A transition from small,'non-vascular'bryophytes to …

Succulent plants are iconic components of the florae of many terrestrial ecosystems, but
despite having caused fascination and prompted investigation for centuries, they still …

New techniques now make it possible to precisely and accurately determine the failure
threshold of the plant vascular system during water stress. This creates an opportunity to …

Gas embolisms formed during drought can disrupt long-distance water transport through
plant xylem vessels, but some species have the ability to remove these blockages. Despite …
