The Role of Leaf Wettability and Morphology on Leaf Surface Water Storage: A Cross‐Biome Synthesis
ABSTRACT The presence of water on leaves impacts plant function and ecosystem fluxes by supplementing moisture, reducing evapotranspirational demand and encouraging pathogen spread. Maximum phytoelement water storage capacity (MWSC)—the maximum amount of water that can be held on the surface of the leaf‐ is an important but poorly constrained parameter

ABSTRACT It is well established that changes in climatic conditions across Alpine environments have influenced tree‐growth at altitudes close to the tree line. Less well known is the impact that increasing proportions of glacial melt water, which may accompany increasing temperatures and otherwise drier conditions during warmer summers, have on the ...

Abstract Urban areas are altered from natural landscapes in several ways that can impact wildlife. Birds are widespread in urban areas, and it is well documented that there are phenotypic differences between urban and non‐urban conspecifics. However, little is known about which characteristics of the urban environment are driving differences. We used 9

Evaluation of Banana Pseudostem Fibres for Packaging Material Development
Composites were developed from banana pseudostem fibres, extracted from a thermomechanical method to produce pulp, which was subsequently hot‐pressed with gum arabic to form fibreboards intended as sustainable packaging material. ABSTRACT The present study investigated composites prepared from banana pseudostem fibres (BF) and gum arabic (GA), in ...

Land Cover and Hydrology Regulate Riverine Carbon Emissions From Subarctic Catchments
Abstract Streams transport carbon (C) and nutrients across the terrestrial‐aquatic interface and are significant sources of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere. Climate‐induced changes in vegetation and hydrology increase the export of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from terrestrial to aquatic ecosystems, but the impact of these ...

High metabolic sensitivity to hot drought in two declining pine species with constrained physiology
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Decline syndromes preceding tree mortality under increased abiotic stress often include reductions in transpiring leaf area and tree growth. However, the mechanisms regulating the metabolism and physiology of declining trees before they cross irreversible thresholds in ...
