The role of desiccation tolerance in determining tree species distributions along the Malay–Thai Peninsula (2008, background): “Species distributions along water availability gradients, whether local or regional, are potentially determined by differential resistance to drought due to physiological or morphological traits (Cao 2000; Tyree et al .”
Seedling Traits Determine Drought Tolerance of Tropical Tree Species (2008, background): “Seedlings and saplings are affected by this low water availability, and have a reduced leaf water potential and gas exchange (Wright et al. 1992, Tobin et al. 1999, Cao 2000), leading to a reduction in growth and survival (Engelbrecht & Kursar 2003, Bunker & Carson 2005, Poorter 2005).”
Drought tolerance as predicted by leaf water potential at turgor loss point varies strongly across species within an Amazonian forest (2015, methodology): “One well-established approach to study the drought tolerance of plants is to quantify their physiological responses to water supply at the seedling stage using reciprocal transplant experiments (Cao 2000; Engelbrecht et al. 2007; Kursar et al. 2009; Urli et al. 2013).”
