Journal ArticleDOI
Precipitation, not air temperature, drives functional responses of trees in semi-arid ecosystems

TL;DR: In this paper, the responses of woody species to reduced precipitation and increased temperature acting simultaneously in a semi-arid woody environment were investigated. But, the results indicated that in semiarid ecosystems where tree functioning is already highly limited by soil water availability, atmospheric warming as anticipated with climate change may have less impact on foliar trait responses than previously thought.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tree water dynamics in a drying and warming world.

TL;DR: The results show that stomatal conductance adjustments to high VPD could minimize but not entirely prevent additive effects of warming and drying on water use and carbon acquisition of trees in semi-arid regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of a coniferous woodland persistence under drought and heat

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a project supported by the United States Department of Energy, Office of Science, and Pacific Northwest National Lab's LDRD program, which was used for the development of a new classifier.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lack of acclimation of leaf area:sapwood area ratios in piñon pine and juniper in response to precipitation reduction and warming
Natalie McBranch,Charlotte Grossiord,Henry D. Adams,Isaac Borrego,Adam D. Collins,Turin Dickman,Max Ryan,Sanna Sevanto,Nate G. McDowell +8 more
TL;DR: A lack of whole-tree acclimation in Al:As results in the reductions in plant gas exchange and water status associated with long-term warming and reduced precipitation in semi-arid woodlands.
