DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9796
Abstract: Environmental heterogeneity in temperate latitudes is expected to maintain seasonally plastic life-history strategies that include the tuning of morphologies and metabolism that support overwintering. For species that have expanded their ranges into tropical latitudes, it… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/hess-29-3975-2025
Abstract: Abstract. Plant hydraulic properties are critical to predicting vegetation water use as part of land–atmosphere interactions and plant responses to drought. However, current measurements of plant hydraulic properties are labor-intensive, destructive, and difficult to scale… read more here.
