Effects of the time of drought occurrence within the growing season on growth and survival of Pinus ponderosa seedlings
(2014-06)Although there is certainty about the increasing frequency of extreme climatic events, the consequences of changing patterns of drought events within the growing season on the growth and survival of different species are ... -
Maize leaf rolling and its response to drying soil and evaporative demand
(Wiley, 2023-05-31)Leaf rolling is an adaptive mechanism associated with water deficiencies; however, the physiological processes and environmental factors contributing to leaf rolling are not fully understood. The objective of this study ... -
Narrow vessels cavitate first during a simulated drought in Eucalyptus camaldulensis
(Wiley, 2021-09-15)Establishing drying-limits for mortality of different tree species and understanding the anatomical and physiological traits involved is crucial to predict forests' responses to climate change. The xylem of Eucalyptus ... -
Short- and long-term responses to seasonal drought in ponderosa pines growing at different plantation densities in Patagonia, South America
(2012-12)Trees drought responses could be developed in the short- or in the long-term, aiming at sustaining carbon fixation and water use efficiency (WUE). The objective of this study was to examine short- and long-term adjustments ... -
Unprecedented mortality induced by extreme hot-drought in commercial planted Pinus spp stands is locally modulated by soil characteristics
(Springer, 2024-03-14)Increased tree mortality associated with hotter-drought events has rarely been recorded in mature (>10 years old) commercial plantations. However, we report a recent (2021–2022 warm season) event of this kind that occurred ... -
Wood trait trade-offs in desert plants: A triangular model to understand intra- and interspecific variations along an aridity gradient
(Wiley, 2023-03-20)The hydraulic architecture of woody plants may show intra- and interspecific variations along aridity gradients as a result of wood trait trade-offs, which depend on species-specific abilities to withstand or evade drought. ...
