Stomatal and xylem plasticity, not growth rate, determines white spruce resilience to warmer and drier climates

Bridget K. Murphy, Noelle Perkins, Fatima Nagi, Siyu Wang, Tyler Muchos, Julia A. Boyle, Nathalie Isabel, Ingo Ensminger

This study shows that white spruce resilience to warmer and drier climates depends on stomatal and xylem plasticity, not growth rate, as both fast- and slow-growing families exhibited similar physiological responses.

This study investigates how microbial legacies and mutualists affect legume responses to drought and heat, finding that mutualists can mitigate negative impacts of drought-treated soils.
