Ongoing climate change poses significant threats to plant function and distribution.
Increased temperatures and altered precipitation regimes amplify drought frequency and …

Responses of stomatal conductance (gs) to increasing vapour pressure deficit (D) generally
follow an exponential decrease described equally well by several empirical functions …

This book presents the latest scientific and management information on multiaged
silviculture, an emerging strategy for managing forestry systems worldwide. Over recent …

The summers of 1994 and, to a lesser extent, 1998 were particularly dry in eastern Spain. As
a result, several plant species were severely affected. We estimated drought-induced …

Climate models depend on evapotranspiration from models of plant stomatal resistance and
leaf cover, and hence they depend on a description of the response of leaf cover to …

Abstract We used 20-mm-long, Granier-type sensors to quantify the effects of tree size,
azimuth and radial position in the xylem on the spatial variability in xylem sap flux in 64-year …

The decline in above‐ground net primary productivity (Pa) that is usually observed in forest
stands has been variously attributed to respiration, nutrient or hydraulic limitations. A novel …

Although water is the most abundant molecule on the Earth's surface, the availability of
water is the factor that most strongly restricts terrestrial plant production on a global scale …
