Aging is characterized by several progressive physiological changes, including changes in
the circadian rhythm. Circadian rhythms influence behavior, physiology, and metabolic …

Carbon (C) exuded via roots is proposed to increase under drought and facilitate important
ecosystem functions. However, it is unknown how exudate quantities relate to the total C …

Fine root lifespan is a critical trait associated with contrasting root strategies of resource
acquisition and protection. Yet, its position within the multidimensional “root economics …

The mechanisms by which warming affects fine root lifespan remain unclear. In a large-scale
soil warming experiment in a Chinese fir plantation, fine root dynamics were monitored for …

Efficient post‐drought recovery of growth and assimilation enables a plant to return to its
undisturbed state and functioning. Unlike annual plants, trees suffer not only from the current …

After drought events, tree recovery depends on sufficient carbon (C) allocation to the sink
organs. The present study aimed to elucidate dynamics of tree‐level C sink activity and …

As climate change progresses, the frequency and duration of drought stress events are
increasing. While the mechanisms of drought acclimation of trees has received considerable …

Forests globally are experiencing severe droughts, leading to significant reductions in
growth, crown dieback and even tree mortality. The ability of forest ecosystems to acclimate …

It is already well known that the effects of tree diversity on aboveground wood productivity
depend on tree species identity and site conditions and thus can vary among different tree …

In an increasingly dry environment, it is crucial to understand how tree species use soil
water and cope with drought. However, there is still a knowledge gap regarding the …
