The interplay between hydraulic capacitance and stomatal regulation strategy affects soil–plant hydraulics and transpiration

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2988-3000, June 2026.
Summary Plant water storage contributes to transpiration, but it is unclear how its relevance in supporting transpiration depends on the stringency of stomatal regulation.

Evictability—A Relational Comparison: Fears, Manoeuvres and Regimes of Housing Insecurity in Rapidly Urbanising Cities

open access: yesTransactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 51, Issue 2, June 2026.
Short Abstract This article develops the concept of ‘evictability’—the potential of eviction—as a lens for relational comparison of housing insecurity in cities undergoing rapid urbanisation. ‘Evictability’ has advantages over ‘displaceability’, we argue, because it does not meld residents' fears of coerced loss of home with presumptions about ruptured
