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

Plants are frequently classified as isohydric or anisohydric in an attempt to portray their
water relations strategy or ecological niche. However, despite the popularity of the …

Future increases in drought severity and frequency are predicted to have substantial impacts
on plant function and survival. However, there is considerable uncertainty concerning what …

Root access to bedrock water storage or groundwater is an important trait allowing plant
survival in seasonally dry environments. However, the degree of coordination between …

Increasing urban tree cover is an often proposed mitigation strategy against urban heat as
trees are expected to cool cities through evapotranspiration and shade provision. However …

Plant microbiota are the subject of new product developments, primarily aimed at improving
plant health, nutrition, and stress resilience. However, current application of microbials in the …

Drought‐induced tree mortality has major impacts on ecosystem carbon and water cycles,
and is expected to increase in forests across the globe with climate change. A large body of …

Leaf turgor loss point (πtlp) indicates the capacity of a plant to maintain cell turgor pressure
during dehydration, which has been proven to be strongly predictive of the plant response to …

Trees, the most successful biological power plants on earth, build and plumb the critical
zone (CZ) in ways that we do not yet understand. To encourage exploration of the character …

Classifying the diverse ways that plants respond to hydrologic stress into generalizable
'water‐use strategies' has long been an eco‐physiological research goal. While many …
