A synthesis of tree functional traits related to drought-induced mortality in forests across climatic zones (2017, background): “In both Panama and the Malay-Thai Peninsula, across a wet to dry forest gradient, maintenance of living tissue at low lethal leaf water potentials directly correlated with seedling survival under drought in the field (Baltzer et al. 2008; Kursar et al. 2009).”
Rapid determination of comparative drought tolerance traits: using an osmometer to predict turgor loss point (2012, background): “…loss point (ptlp), the water potential at which wilting occurs, is typically strongly related to plant drought tolerance and, therefore, species distributions with respect towater supply (Abrams&Kubiske 1990; Engelbrecht, Velez & Tyree 2000; Baltzer et al. 2008; Bartlett, Scoffoni & Sack 2012).”
Distribution patterns of tropical woody species in response to climatic and edaphic gradients (2012, background): “Species responded clearly to environmental gradients (climate and ⁄or soil, cf. Engelbrecht et al. 2007; Baltzer et al. 2008), and for most of the species (65%), climatic and soil conditions could explain most of the variation in occurrence (R2 > 0.50).”
Tolerance to low leaf water status of tropical tree seedlings is related to drought performance and distribution. (2009, background): “1995; Walsh 1996) and the distributions of many plants correlate with rainfall (Veenendaal & Swaine 1998; Bongers et al. 1999; Baltzer et al. 2008).”
Drought tolerance as predicted by leaf water potential at turgor loss point varies strongly across species within an Amazonian forest (2015, unknown): “Previous studies also found strong species differences in physiological drought tolerance among selected species within a given vegetation type (Engelbrecht et al. 2007; Baltzer et al. 2008; Kursar et al. 2009; Blackman, Brodribb & Jordan 2012; McDowell et al. 2013).”
Biogeography and conservation in Southeast Asia: how 2.7 million years of repeated environmental fluctuations affect today’s patterns and the future of the remaining refugial-phase biodiversity (2010, background): “The following recent regional examples are informative: (1) Baltzer et al. (2007, 2008) describe current determinants of tree species distributions and the evolution of drought tolerance in trees north and south of the Kangar-Pattani Line; (2) Sheridan (2009) found three frog species that occur in…”
Conservative species drive biomass productivity in tropical dry forests (2016, background): “Species with low SLA also produce leaves with smaller cells and thicker cell walls, thus decreasing cell elasticity and allowing plants to reduce leaf water potential and continue plant functioning during the onset of the dry period (Baltzer et al. 2008; Klein 2014).”
A global method for calculating plant CSR ecological strategies applied across biomes world‐wide (2017, background): “This perhaps reflects local sequestration of resources in long-lived 520 tissues in later successional stages (Grime 2001), or increasing adaptation to drought tolerance 521 (Engelbrecht et al. 2007; Baltzer et al. 2008).”
