Limited drought tolerance in the neotropical seasonally dry forest plants impairs future species richness

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Global climate change will likely modify the plant assemblages of the Neotropical seasonally dry forest based on the physiological capabilities of the species. Abstract Neotropical seasonal dry forest (NSDF) is one of the most threatened ecosystems according to global climate change predictions.

Contrasting strategies in morphological and physiological response to drought stress among temperate forest understory forbs and graminoids

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Under drought stress, temperate forest understorey forbs prioritize biomass and leaf area retention, while graminoids enhance water‐use efficiency and photoprotection for survival. Abstract Drought stress can profoundly affect plant growth and physiological vitality, yet there is a notable scarcity of controlled drought experiments focused on ...

Linking sap flow and tree water deficit in an unmanaged, mixed beech forest during the summer drought 2022

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Sap flow and reversible stem shrinkage upon water depletion are strongly correlated under extreme drought conditions, but they respond differently to drought and cannot be used interchangeably when assessing tree response to drought. Abstract Temperate mixed forests are currently experiencing severe drought conditions and face increased risk of ...

Legacies from early‐season hot drought: how growth cessation alters tree water dynamics and modifies stress responses in Scots pine

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Early‐season hot drought in Scots pine limits growth and productivity but improves resilience to late‐season drought through reduced water use. Abstract Tree responses to drought are well studied, but the interacting effects of drought timing on growth, water use, and stress legacy are less understood.

Redistribution of soil water by mature trees towards dry surface soils and uptake by seedlings in a temperate forest

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Mature beech trees redistributed soil water, equal to ca. 10% of stand transpiration, from deeper moist soils to dry surface soils, where it was taken up by seedlings of different tree species. Abstract Hydraulic redistribution is considered a crucial dryland mechanism that may be important in temperate environments facing increased soil drying–wetting

Gall responses to drying habitats: Insights from the community of galling herbivores associated with the superhost Caryocar brasiliense Cambess. (Caryocaraceae)

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Drying processes in the Brazilian palm swamps or Veredas, impact the gall community in adjacent vegetation by reducing the abundance of more sensitive galls, while more resilient galls acclimate to increased dryness by developing thicker protective tissues. Abstract Galls are new plant organs formed in response to the stimuli of gall‐inducing organisms,
