Drought-associated woody-plant mortality has been increasing in most regions with multi-
decadal records and is projected to increase in the future, impacting terrestrial climate …

Shifts in the age or turnover time of non‐structural carbohydrates (NSC) may underlie
changes in tree growth under long‐term increases in drought stress associated with climate …

Increasing temperature and drought can result in leaf dehydration and defoliation even in
drought‐adapted tree species such as the Mediterranean evergreen Quercus ilex L. The …

Stomatal conductance schemes that optimize with respect to photosynthetic and hydraulic
functions have been proposed to address biases in land‐surface model (LSM) simulations …

Forests globally are experiencing severe droughts, leading to significant reductions in
growth, crown dieback and even tree mortality. The ability of forest ecosystems to acclimate …

Water consumption of trees is one of the most important processes connected to their
survival under ongoing climate change and extreme events such as drought. Radial profiles …

The soil-plant-atmosphere (SPA) nexus is a vital system in terrestrial ecosystems, featuring
complex feedback loops that link soil, plant, and atmospheric processes. This review …

Efficient water transport is crucial for plant growth and survival. Plant hydraulic conductivity
varies between functional groups and biomes and is strongly influenced by changing …

Subtropical evergreen broadleaf forests (SEBF) are experiencing and expected to suffer
more frequent and severe drought events. However, how the hydraulic traits directly link to …

Drought-induced dieback episodes have been globally reported. However, few studies have
jointly examined the role played by drought on growth of co-occurring shrub and tree …
