This paper develops a process-based inversion framework to estimate root-accessible soil water storage and predict drought-induced hydraulic failure across forests.

This study examines the variability and thermal sensitivity of residual conductance in Abies alba, finding it to be environmentally plastic but genetically constrained.

The paper introduces a new Forest Stress Index (ISF) based on hydraulic modeling to better link climatic anomalies to tree mortality risk, showing stronger emphasis on extreme drought years compared to existing indices.

The paper assesses hydraulic trait variability in silver fir across populations to evaluate drought vulnerability, finding constrained safety traits and variable water-use traits with scale-dependent coordination.

This study investigates drought-induced epigenetic memory in poplar trees, showing persistent molecular changes and distinct adaptive strategies between genotypes.

This study compares drought resistance and recovery of an invasive palm and native species, finding the palm has drought-tolerant leaves but fails to recover from extreme drought, limiting its spread.

This study compares operational drought resistance indicators with ecophysiological traits to assess vulnerability to hydraulic failure in Abies species under climate change.
