TL;DR: Differences among species that can be traced to different capacities for water acquisition, rather than to differences in metabolism at a given water status, are described.

TL;DR: It is concluded that water-stressed leaves in all four species maintain high levels of soluble sugars in their leaves, despite having lower rates of field photosynthesis, decreased rates of export, and low amounts of starch in their Leaves.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that the relationship between leaf conductance and endogenous ABA concentration can be mimicked by the application of exogenous ABA to leaves detached from irrigated plants.

TL;DR: The response of grapevine plants to severe water deficit, imposed at a rate of about 0.16 MPa day-1, was studied in terms of leaf water relations characteristics, stomatal behaviour and gas exchange, and Photosynthesis was markedly reduced in water-stressed plants.

TL;DR: In this article, a general methodology for the probabilistic evaluation of landslide hazard is applied, taking in account both the landslide susceptibility and the instability triggering factors, mainly rainfall, in the Fanhoes-Trancao test site (north of Lisbon, Portugal).
