ABSTRACT Plant water use efficiency (WUE) links physiological processes to ecosystem‐scale carbon and water cycles, making it a crucial parameter for climate change adaptation modelling. Climate and stratospheric ozone dynamics expose plants to varying intensity of ultraviolet‐B radiation (UV‐B), which affects stomatal function and transpiration.

Mixing oak and pine trees in Mediterranean forests increases aboveground hydraulic dysfunctions
Mixing oak and pine trees enhances hydraulic impairments of all species, although diversity can mitigate drought stress during extended drought periods. Abstract Increasing tree species diversity in Mediterranean forests could reduce drought‐induced hydraulic impairments through improved microclimate and reduced competition for water.

Sap flow and reversible stem shrinkage upon water depletion are strongly correlated under extreme drought conditions, but they respond differently to drought and cannot be used interchangeably when assessing tree response to drought. Abstract Temperate mixed forests are currently experiencing severe drought conditions and face increased risk of ...

Cosmovision as Cognitive Technology: The Case of Mesoamerican Medicinal Knowledge
Abstract We examine the use of cognitive technologies in the acquisition and retention of botanical and medicinal knowledge. We focus on the Cruz‐Badianus codex, a 16th‐century Nahua (Aztec) herbarium which discusses the use of plants for a range of illnesses.
