Vegetation demographics in Earth System Models: A review of progress and priorities (2018, background): “…2015; Hickler, Prentice, Smith, Sykes, & Zaehle, 2006; Janott et al., 2011; McDowell et al., 2013; Williams, Bond, & Ryan, 2001), and datasets (Choat et al., 2012; Christoffersen et al., 2016; Mar echaux, Bartlett, Gaucher, Sack, & Chave, 2016) have improved substantially, giving rise to the…”
Dynamics of non-structural carbohydrates in terrestrial plants: a global synthesis (2016, background): “It has been hypothesized that these lower NSC concentrations in conifer sapwood may result in lower capacity to refill embolized xylem conduits (Johnson et al. 2012) and, thus, explain the wider hydraulic safety margins in conifers (Choat et al. 2012).”
Precipitation mediates the effect of human disturbance on the Brazilian Caatinga vegetation (2017, background): “2016), specially in SDTFs (Choat et al. 2012; Crowther et al. 2015; Rugemalila, Anderson & Holdo 2016) and the global effect that annual precipitation is known to have on species diversity and vegetation structure (e.”
Understanding the roles of nonstructural carbohydrates in forest trees - from what we can measure to what we want to know. (2016, background): “The hydraulic system of trees is operating close to the threshold of cavitation (Choat et al., 2012) but hydraulic failure – that is, complete interruption of water transport due to runaway xylem embolism – may not occur as frequently as previously thought, at least not under nondrought conditions…”
Multiple strategies for drought survival among woody plant species (2016, background): “Woody plants from a wide range of forest biomes are similar in their susceptibility to drought induced mortality (Choat et al. 2012).”
Drought induced decline could portend widespread pine mortality at the xeric ecotone in managed mediterranean pine-oak woodlands (2014, background): “Climate change related increases in drought frequency and severity have a negative impact on forest ecosystem productivity and tree performance (Boisvenue and Running, 2006; Lenoir et al., 2008; Choat et al., 2012).”
