The paper introduces the PSInet database, a global collection of plant water potential time series, and highlights its potential for various ecological and physiological studies.

The paper investigates the evolutionary origin of mechanical advantage in angiosperms, finding it present in all measured species including early diverging lineages.

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.

The paper identifies conserved trait strategies in Eucalyptus trees that enable aridity tolerance through phylogenetic analysis and trait-environment relationships.
