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.

Belowground growth is the primary driver of radial oxygen loss from Typha angustifolia to sediment

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Oxygen pool accompanying the growth of a new Typha angustifolia rhizome through anoxic sediment. Summary Wetland plants must supply oxygen to their rhizomes and roots to maintain aerobic respiration despite soil anoxia. Excess oxygen can diffuse into the environment, strongly affecting rhizosphere biogeochemistry.

Carbohydrate content governs growth‐storage allocation during recovery from carbon depletion

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Conceptual framework for competing hypotheses of growth‐storage carbon allocation during recovery from carbon limitation. Summary How plants prioritize carbon (C) allocation between growth and storage remains an outstanding question, limiting predictions of forest C cycling and ecosystem resilience following periods of C limitation. To address this gap,

Humidity‐driven shape morphing enhances fog harvesting in porous cactus spines

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Spine straightening and water collection during fog exposure in Turbinicarpus alonsoi. Summary Cacti develop spines instead of conventional leaves, which often serve as mechanical defence against herbivores. However, some cactus species grow porous and flexible spines, suggesting fundamentally different functions.
