Water quality monitoring, control and management (WQMCM) framework using collaborative wireless sensor networks

Improving water quality is of global concern, with agricultural practices being the major contributors to reduced water quality. The reuse of nutrient-rich drainage water can be a valuable strategy to gain economic-environmental benefits.

Atmospheric dust is a global nutrient source for plants via foliar uptake

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Atmospheric mineral dust is a critical nutrient supplier to marine ecosystems, but its role in terrestrial plant nutrition remains underexplored due to the assumption that nutrients are acquired solely from soils via roots. Here, we demonstrate that plants directly acquire nutrients from dust through leaves, revealing an unrecognized ...

The interplay between hydraulic capacitance and stomatal regulation strategy affects soil–plant hydraulics and transpiration

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Plant water storage contributes to transpiration, but it is unclear how its relevance in supporting transpiration depends on the stringency of stomatal regulation. Here, we show the compounding effect of stomatal regulation and hydraulic capacitance on plant water use, by means of a soil–plant hydraulic model and measurements of leaf water ...

Evolutionary and environmental drivers of dry‐season deciduousness in a legume genus

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Leaf deciduousness is a key drought‐avoidance strategy in tropical flora, reducing water loss during seasonal dry periods. While winter‐deciduousness in temperate regions is well‐understood, the evolutionary and environmental drivers of dry‐season deciduousness remain poorly explored.

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 ...

Grassland age and local adaptation shape drought resilience across semi‐natural grassland populations

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Field sampling sites and mesocosm experimental design. Summary Increasing frequency and intensity of droughts threaten grassland ecosystems. Semi‐natural grasslands vary in age from ancient to younger sites established on former arable land. While species richness and composition are known to affect drought resilience, little is known about how ...
