Trees are the living foundations on which most terrestrial biodiversity is built. Central to the success of trees are their woody bodies, which connect their elevated photosynthetic …
BACKGROUND Forests have considerable potential to help mitigate human-caused climate change and provide society with a broad range of cobenefits. Local, national, and …
Hydraulic failure resulting from drought‐induced embolism in the xylem of plants is a key determinant of reduced productivity and mortality. Methods to assess this vulnerability are …
Widespread tree mortality following droughts has emerged as an environmentally and economically devastating 'ecological surprise'. It is well established that tree physiology is …
Biodiversity experiments have shown that species loss reduces ecosystem functioning in grassland. To test whether this result can be extrapolated to forests, the main contributors to …
Plants encounter several biotic and abiotic stresses, usually in combination. This results in major economic losses in agriculture and forestry every year. Climate change aggravates …
