Linking drought strategy to climate‐of‐origin in a widespread C4 grass: hydraulic traits, xylem anatomy and stomatal behaviour in Themeda triandra

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Climate‐of‐origin of Themeda triandra populations used in this study. Summary Hydraulic, stomatal, and anatomical traits strongly influence plant performance under drought, but the extent to which these trait‐types are coordinated and relate to climate‐of‐origin remains vastly underexplored in herbaceous species relative to woody plants.

Dormancy type, seed traits, and species identity shape seed‐associated fungal community composition in tropical pioneer trees

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Dormancy type, as well as chemical and physical seed traits, explain variation in seed fungal community composition. Summary Seed germination is regulated in many plants by seed dormancy, while postdispersal survival is often determined by soilborne fungi that infect seeds.

Why be deciduous in a tropical savanna climate? Insights from leaf deployment, stem growth and sap flow dynamics

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Stem increment, sap flow and leaf phenology. Summary Savannas are ecosystems with hot and wet summers and warm and dry winters. How and why savanna trees partition their physiological activity through this seasonal cycle is unknown; yet it is important to understand this temporal partitioning in order to anticipate how anthropogenic climatic change ...

Reconstructing Cenozoic grasslands in North America and western Eurasia: evidence for cold‐season grasses from 3D phytolith morphology

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Pie charts illustrate the composition of fossil grass silica short‐cell phytolith (GSSCP) assemblages at investigated fossil sites in the United States and Türkiye and representative 3D meshes of classified phytoliths. Summary Pooideae, the largest grass subfamily, radiated in the Northern Hemisphere from the Paleocene onward and today dominates cold ...

Trait‐based plant ecology: some history and some future

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Schematic of plant species range boundaries, some mechanisms that might set them, and some traits that might explain them. Summary Since around the year 2000, trait‐based ecology has become self‐aware as a strand of research within ecology. How did this happen? What is trait‐based ecology now? And where might it go in future?
