Effects of soil moisture on microhabitat selection of two fossorial amphisbaenian reptiles from contrasting environments

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Extreme events expected under climate change (prolonged drought or torrential rains) alter soil conditions, yet their effects on fossorial vertebrates remain understudied. We tested substrate selection across moisture levels in two amphisbaenians from contrasting climates: Blanus cinereus (Iberian temperate forest) and Trogonophis wiegmanni (North ...

The underappreciated roles of fog and dew on vegetation and biocrusts

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Fog and dew represent minor components of ecosystem water budgets in most ecosystems. However, fog and dew can play an essential role in ecosystem dynamics and are particularly important for water‐limited systems. In addition to serving as direct water inputs, fog and dew can influence microclimate and water redistribution, thereby promoting ...

Intra‐annual transfer of hydrogen and oxygen isotopic signals from water and sugar precursors to tree rings: Processes and mechanisms

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Intra‐annual radial growth of beech and spruce in 2021 and 2022. Summary The oxygen (δ18O) and hydrogen (δ2H) isotope compositions of leaf and xylem water shape tree‐ring isotope baselines, while the fraction of sugars undergoing isotopic modification downstream of leaves (fO, fH) determines the dominant hydrologic signal.

Fine‐root trait variation in temperate trees follows arc‐shape pattern along deep soil profiles

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Root trait variation along the soil depth profile in four temperate tree species. Summary Roots are plants' interface with the soil, controlling access to water and nutrients. Yet, fine‐root trait variation along deep soil profiles and its functional implications remain poorly understood.

Key sources of uncertainty in process‐based modeling of live fuel moisture content

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Location of the selected live fuel moisture content (LFMC) sampling sites. Summary Process‐based models that mechanistically represent water‐carbon balances in the atmosphere‐soil–plant continuum are an attractive tool for monitoring live fuel moisture content (LFMC) dynamics, a key variable when assessing fire danger.
