Urbanization may reduce the risk of frost damage to spring flowers: A case study of two shrub species in South Korea. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2018 Regional warming, owing to urbanization, leads to earlier spring phenological events and may expose plants to hard freeze damage. This study examined the influence of urbanization on the risk of frost damage to spring flowers in South Korea from 1973 to ...

Within-individual phenotypic plasticity in flowers fosters pollination niche shift
Nature Communications, 2020 Floral phenotypes impact interactions between plants and pollinators. Here, the authors show that Moricandia arvensis displays discrete seasonal plasticity in floral phenotype, with large, lilac flowers attracting long-tongued bees in spring and small ...

Early spring flowers rely on xylem hydration but are not limited by stem xylem conductivity.
New Phytologist, 2021 ●Many woody plants produce large floral displays early in the spring when xylem transport can be variable and often reduced. To determine whether stem hydraulics impact floral water use, we quantified floral transpiration and tested whether it is ...
