Variations in water use by a mature mangrove of Avicennia germinans, French Guiana [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In the tropical intertidal zones, little is known on water uptake by mangroves. Transpiration rates are generally measured at leaf level, but few studies exist on water use at tree or stand levels.

Drought Stress Mediated Changes in Food Crops: Mechanisms and Remediation Strategies

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents a multi‐scale framework for flavonoid‐mediated drought tolerance in staple food crops, integrating ROS redox regulation, antioxidant defense, rhizosphere microbial interactions, and sustainable agronomic practices. This interdisciplinary model provides core insights to develop climate‐resilient cropping systems and enhance global ...

Hydrological consequences of Eucalyptus afforestation in the Argentine Pampas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The impacts of a 40 ha stand of Eucalyptus camaldulensis in the Pampas grasslands of Argentina were explored for 2 years using a novel combination of sap flow, groundwater data, soil moisture measurements, and modeling.

Herbivory‐Induced Stomatal Opening Triggers the Dispersal of an Invasive Insect Herbivore

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The invasive leafminer Phthorimaea absoluta uniquely manipulates plant defenses by inducing stomatal opening in tomato. This response, mediated by the stomatal regulator IQM1, enhances the release of the repellent volatile benzaldehyde. This volatile triggers the dispersal of adult moths, facilitates colonization of new hosts, and leads to rapid ...

Transpiration Cooling Tests of Porous CMC in Hypersonic Flow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
During hypersonic flight the temperatures on the vehicle can reach very high values in certain locations. A hypersonic flight vehicle needs to be designed aerodynamically efficient. That results in rather small nose and leading edge radii which drives up

Thermal‐Ionic Coupling in Transpiration‐Inspired Janus Nanofiber Membranes: Synergistic Dry‐Wet Interface Engineering for Solar‐Driven Electricity Generation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A transpiration‐inspired Janus nanofiber membrane creates a persistent dry‐wet interface that couples localized solar heating with hydration‐induced ion regulation. The asymmetric architecture sustains directional water and ion transport, suppresses salt accumulation, and enables simultaneous seawater evaporation and stable electricity generation ...

Using the sensitivity of biomass production to soil water for physiological drought evaluation

open access: yesSoil and Water Research, 2008
The analysis of drought as a phenomenon and the proposal of how to define and quantify the deficiency of water in soil for plants, so called physiological drought, are described. The presented approach is based on the theoretical considerations supported
