Testing the limits of plant drought stress and subsequent recovery in four provenances of a widely distributed subtropical tree species

Abstract Drought-induced tree mortality may increase with ongoing climate change. Unraveling the links between stem hydraulics and mortality thresholds, and the effects of intraspecific variation, remain important unresolved issues. We conducted a …

Limits to post-fire vegetation recovery under climate change

Abstract Record-breaking fire seasons in many regions across the globe raise important questions about plant community responses to shifting fire regimes (i.e., changing fire frequency, severity and seasonality). Here, we examine the impacts of …
