Tropical ecosystems have the highest levels of biodiversity, cycle more water and absorb
more carbon than any other terrestrial ecosystem on Earth. Consequently, these ecosystems …

Water availability is arguably the most important environmental factor limiting crop growth
and productivity. Erratic precipitation patterns and increased temperatures resulting from …

Climate change-driven increases in drought frequency and severity could compromise forest
ecosystems and the terrestrial carbon sink,–. While the impacts of single droughts on forests …

Tree mortality rates appear to be increasing in moist tropical forests (MTF s) with significant
carbon cycle consequences. Here, we review the state of knowledge regarding MTF tree …

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

Climate change is expected to exacerbate drought for many plants, making drought
tolerance a key driver of species and ecosystem responses. Plant drought tolerance is …

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 …

Modern cities are dominated by impervious surfaces that absorb, store and release heat in
summer, create large volumes of runoff and provide limited biodiversity habitat and poor air …

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 …
