Abstract Introduction Afforestation is a key restoration strategy for mitigating land degradation and desertification in semiarid regions. However, evaluating the ecological impacts of tree species used for sustainable dryland restoration is crucial. For example, non‐native tree species may become invasive, with negative effects on native understory ...

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

Variation in Water‐Use Strategies of Prosopis velutina in Southern Arizona
ABSTRACT In semi‐arid regions of the United States, mesquite trees are widely distributed across the landscape and play a pivotal ecological role, influencing hydrological processes and contributing to biodiversity. This is especially true in riparian areas, where understanding the adaptive water‐use strategies of facultative phreatophytes is essential
