Aim Many studies use differences among plant populations to infer future plant responses,
but these predictions will provide meaningful insights only if patterns of plasticity among …

In the current study, an eco-friendly management technology to improve young carob
(Ceratonia siliqua L.) tree tolerance to water deficit was set up by using single or combined …

Understanding urban tree responses to drought, salt stress, and co-occurring stresses, as
well as the capability to recover afterward, is important to prevent the cited stresses' negative …

Tree growth performance can be partly explained by genetics, while a large proportion of
growth variation is thought to be controlled by environmental factors. However, to what …

Variations in the photosynthetic pigments and total carbohydrate contents of needles of
different age classes (currentyear, 1-year-old, 2-year-old and 3-year-old) of Pinus nigra …

Leaf characteristics can reflect the adaptation of trees to drought stress. However, the effect
of leaf maturity on drought stress has been neglected, leading to uncertainty in inferring …

Drought is a major environmental stressor that limits seedling growth. Several studies have
found that some ectomycorrhizal fungi may increase the drought tolerance of nursery-raised …

Aims Cunninghamia lanceolata is one of the most important coniferous species in southern
China, but its high sensitivity to drought restricts its expansion. Understanding the …

Photoprotection is a plant functional mechanism to prevent photooxidative damage by
excess light. This is most important when carbon assimilation is limited by drought, and as …

The coniferous forest tree Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is native to the pacific North
America, and is increasingly planted in temperate regions worldwide. Nitrogen (N) …
