Reduced snow cover at the alpine treeline: resistance and recovery of saplings

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary At high elevations, tree saplings and shrubs are usually protected by mid‐winter snow cover, although climate change is expected to extend the snow‐free (SF) period. Exposure to winter drought, freeze–thaw events and freezing temperatures will therefore increase, inducing damages to the hydraulic system and to living cells, resulting in reduced

Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...

Diversity affects microclimate temperature and humidity: an overview of the evidence and major unanswered questions

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Climate change is increasing global temperatures, increasing atmospheric drying, and driving more severe and frequent drought. Plants can cool and humidify microclimates through sensible and latent heat exchange. Higher diversity plant communities can modify microclimates more strongly than lower diversity plant communities, creating the ...

Soil phosphorus drives subcontinental patterns of carbon isotope discrimination across Australia

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Several transects have been established to study the sensitivity of carbon isotope discrimination (Δ13C) in woody plants to mean annual precipitation (MAP) across Australia. These have shown a surprising divergence in Δ13C‐MAP sensitivity among subcontinental regions.

Scaling plant hydraulic traits to predict ecosystem fluxes under drought

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Expanding plant hydraulic trait measurements and advances in hydraulic modeling have improved mechanistic predictions of water–carbon fluxes under drought. However, mismatches between individual‐scale traits and ecosystem‐scale model representations introduce prediction uncertainties and obscure how drought impacts propagate across scales. This
