Abstract: Abstract Performance and survival of Mediterranean trees depend on their capacity to cope with water stress. In harsh environments, xylem growth strategies are critical to ensure efficient water transport, though these are largely unknown for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-42335-2
Abstract: Leaf functional traits have attracted the attention of ecologists for several decades, but few studies have systematically assessed leaf morphological traits (termed “economic traits”), stomatal (termed “hydraulic”), and anatomical traits of entire forest communities, thus… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.14947
Abstract: Tree growth at northern treelines is generally temperature-limited due to cold and short growing seasons. However, temperature-induced drought stress was repeatedly reported for certain regions of the boreal forest in northwestern North America, provoked by… read more here.

Climate-smart crops: key root anatomical traits that confer flooding tolerance

DOI: 10.1270/jsbbs.20119
Abstract: Plants require water, but a deficit or excess of water can negatively impact their growth and functioning. Soil flooding, in which root-zone is filled with excess water, restricts oxygen diffusion into the soil. Global climate… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2023.1117564
Abstract: Leaf stomatal and anatomical traits strongly influence plant productivity. Understanding the environmental adaptation mechanisms of leaf stomatal and anatomical traits and their relationship with ecosystem productivity is essential to better understand and predict the long-term… read more here.
