Understanding Flood Regime Changes in Europe: A state of the art assessment

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the current knowledge on flood regime changes in European rivers that has traditionally been obtained through two alternative research approaches: data-based detection of changes in observed flood events and modelled scenarios of future floods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Weak tradeoff between xylem safety and xylem-specific hydraulic efficiency across the world's woody plant species

TL;DR: There appears to be no persuasive explanation for the considerable number of species with both low efficiency and low safety in branch xylem, and these species represent a real challenge for understanding the evolution ofxylem.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drought's legacy: multiyear hydraulic deterioration underlies widespread aspen forest die-off and portends increased future risk

TL;DR: The physiological basis of a recent multiyear widespread die-off of trembling aspen across much of western North America is examined to highlight the critical role of drought stress accumulation and repair of stress-induced damage for avoiding plant mortality, presenting a dynamic and contingent framework for drought impacts on forest ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Global analysis of parenchyma tissue fractions in secondary xylem of seed plants

TL;DR: This work uses data from the literature on AP and RP fractions to investigate the potential relationships of climate and growth form with total ray and axial parenchyma fractions and finds a 29‐fold variation in RAP fraction, which was more strongly related to temperature than with precipitation.
