Evolution in arid environments: the role of betalains, succulence, and medullary bundles
Overview of the study system. Summary The flowering plant clade Caryophyllales includes many succulent species that grow in drought conditions. Many Caryophyllales species also have betalain pigmentation and medullary bundles, both of which have been linked to stress tolerance, albeit with less precise functional characterisation.

ABSTRACT The formation of air bubbles in the xylem, known as embolism, reduces hydraulic conductivity and can ultimately lead to catastrophic failure of a tree's water transport system. When a vessel embolises, it releases water into the surrounding xylem tissue.

Ozone Susceptibility of Tropical Tree Species
ABSTRACT Tropical forests account for approximately 60% of global terrestrial photosynthesis, yet their function into the future may be compromised by rising ground‐level ozone (O3) pollution. Although O3 is known to impair plant productivity, the physiological mechanisms underlying interspecific variation in O3 susceptibility—especially among tropical

Abstract The influence of the spatial organization of tropical convection on the production of extreme instantaneous localized tropical rain rates remains poorly constrained, both in observations and in models. Using retrievals from the Ku‐band radar onboard the GPM satellite, we identify tropical precipitation features (PFs) and quantify their ...
