Generalizing the effect of traits on performance across species may be achievable if traits
explain variation in population fitness. However, testing relationships between traits and vital …

More accurate and precise phenotyping strategies are necessary to empower high-
resolution linkage mapping and genome-wide association studies and for training genomic …

Tree mortality during global‐change‐type drought is usually attributed to xylem dysfunction,
but as climate change increases the frequency of extreme heat events, it is necessary to …

Stomata play a significant role in the Earth's water and carbon cycles, by regulating gaseous
exchanges between the plant and the atmosphere. Under drought conditions, stomatal …

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 …

Many species face increasing drought under climate change. Plasticity has been predicted
to strongly influence species' drought responses, but broad patterns in plasticity have not …

The concept of iso‐vs. anisohydry has been used to describe the stringency of stomatal
regulation of plant water potential (ψ). However, metrics that accurately and consistently …

Despite progress in trait‐based ecology, there is limited understanding of the plant traits that
structure semi‐arid grasslands. In particular, it remains unclear how traits that enable plants …

Drought stress is an increasing concern because of climate change and increasing
demands on water for agriculture. There are still many unknowns about how plants sense …

Increasing heatwaves are threatening forest ecosystems globally. Leaf thermal regulation
and tolerance are important for plant survival during heatwaves, though the interaction …
