Abstract: Quantifying inter-specific variations of tree resilience to drought and revealing the underlying mechanisms are of great importance to the understanding of forest functionality particularly in water-limited regions. So far, comprehensive studies incorporating investigations in inter-specific… read more here.

Abstract: Forecasted increase drought frequency and severity may drive worldwide declines in forest productivity. Species-level responses to a drier world are likely to be influenced by their functional traits. Here, we analyse forest resilience to drought… read more here.
