Intermediate, rather than Isohydric or Anisohydric, Species were More Resilient to an Extreme Heatwave in a Common Garden in Sydney

The study evaluates resilience of urban tree and shrub species to an extreme heatwave using functional traits, finding that crown dieback better predicts thermal stress than survival.

Towards understanding stomatal decoupling under extreme heat: integrating stomatal kinetics, leaf light responses, and the role of stomatal versus cuticular conductance

This study investigates stomatal decoupling under extreme heat by comparing two rainforest and two semi-arid tree species, finding that decoupling occurs in some species but not others, linked to transpirational cooling capacity and light conditions.

Passive irrigation increases transpiration and reduces heat stress for urban Lophostemon confertus trees in metropolitan Sydney

This study shows passive irrigation improves water availability and reduces heat stress in urban Lophostemon confertus trees, enhancing their survival during hot, dry periods.
