Waterlogging is one of the main abiotic stresses suffered by plants. Inhibition of aerobic
respiration during waterlogging limits energy metabolism and restricts growth and a wide …

Global climate change is strongly associated with variations in precipitation and flooding
events. Flooding usually causes submergence-or partial submergence stress in plants …

Climate change has increased the global environmental risks, especially the impacts of
abiotic stresses on agriculture productivity. Among the abiotic stresses aggravated by …

Floods impede gas (O2 and CO 2) exchange between plants and the environment. A
mechanism to enhance plant gas exchange under water comprises gas films on …

The world is currently experiencing dramatic increases in flood events impacting on natural
vegetation and crops. Flooding often results in low O2 status in root tissues during …

Flooding is expected to increase in frequency and severity in the future. The ecological
consequences of flooding are the combined result of species‐specific plant traits and …

Climate-change-induced variations in temperature and rainfall patterns are a serious threat
across the globe. Flooding is the foremost challenge to agricultural productivity, and it is …

Since ancient times humans observed animal and plants features and tried to adapt them
according to their own needs. Biomimetics represents the foundation of many inventions …

Human-induced disturbances such as dam construction and regulation often change the
duration and frequency of flooding and thus notably influence plant dominance in riparian …

Measures of functional diversity are increasingly being used in ecological research to
understand and predict vegetation ecosystem changes. However, there is currently no …
