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

Alleles From Crop Wild Relatives Accumulated by Long‐Term Adaptation to Low‐Input Environments Contribute to Yield Advantages in Wheat (Triticum aestivum)

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Increasingly variable climate conditions are affecting crop production, leading to greater yield fluctuations, which in turn are impacting global food security. Introducing alleles from regions where the expected stress conditions occur, so‐called exotic alleles, could serve as a means to mitigate these effects. We examined the value of exotic

Enhancing Tolerance to Combined Heat and Drought Stress in Cool‐Season Grain Legumes: Mechanisms, Genetic Insights, and Future Directions

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing frequency of concurrent heat and drought stress poses a significant challenge to agricultural productivity, particularly for cool‐season grain legumes, including broad bean (Vicia Faba L.), lupin (Lupinus spp.), lentil (Lens culinaris Medik), chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), grasspea (Lathyrus sativus L.), pea (Pisum sativum L ...
