Traits link drought resistance with herbivore defence and plant economics in semi‐arid grasslands: The central roles of phenology and leaf dry matter content (2020, background): “…traits are unrelated to πo in Amazonian rainforest trees, to xylem embolism resistance among trees from both wet and dry forest in New Zealand or to vein and stomatal density in Chinese tropical and subtropical forests (Blackman, Brodribb, & Jordan, 2010; Li et al., 2015; Marechaux et al., 2015).”
Trait selection and community weighting are key to understanding ecosystem responses to changing precipitation regimes (2018, background): “…osmometer which increases measurement speed 50- fold and has since been used in broad- scale surveys of drought tolerance of tropical tree species (Maréchaux et al., 2015). ψTLP has long been recognized as a valuable indicator of plant water stress and is correlated with plant- available water,…”
