Plant-groundwater interactions in drylands: A review of current research and future perspectives
Global dryland areas are expanding due to climate change, and this expansion is
accompanied by an increased frequency and intensity of drought occurrences. The degree …

Water availability and plant–herbivore interactions
Water is essential to plant growth and drives plant evolution and interactions with other
organisms such as herbivores. However, water availability fluctuates, and these fluctuations …

Plant water use theory should incorporate hypotheses about extreme environments, population ecology, and community ecology
Plant water use theory has largely been developed within a plant‐performance paradigm
that conceptualizes water use in terms of value for carbon gain and that sits within a …

Lower relative abundance of ectomycorrhizal fungi under a warmer and drier climate is linked to enhanced soil organic matter decomposition
The aboveground impacts of climate change receive extensive research attention, but
climate change could also alter belowground processes such as the delicate balance …

The role of nutritional impairment in carbon‐water balance of silver fir drought‐induced dieback
E Gonzalez de Andres, A Gazol… - Global change …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Rear‐edge populations at the xeric distribution limit of tree species are particularly

Field-based tree mortality constraint reduces estimates of model-projected forest carbon sinks
Considerable uncertainty and debate exist in projecting the future capacity of forests to
sequester atmospheric CO2. Here we estimate spatially explicit patterns of biomass loss by …

Belowground plant traits and their ecosystem functions along aridity gradients in grasslands
Ecosystem responses to environmental change are usually studied solely using
aboveground (usually leaf) traits. However, belowground plant traits, such as fine roots and …
