Bulbophyllum weddellii (Orchidaceae) demonstrates foliar water uptake plasticity along Brazilian campos rupestres

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Phenotypic plasticity can facilitate species survival in a variety of conditions that are not possible with a fixed phenotype. Foliar water uptake (FWU), defined as the absorption of water through leaf surfaces, is an important mechanism contributing to plant water balance and drought tolerance in many species.
