A trade-off between growth and hydraulic resilience against freezing leads to divergent adaptations among temperate tree species

Xiao-Han Yin et al.

Summary: In humid temperate forests, frequent freeze-thaw cycles pose a serious threat to the growth of trees due to xylem embolism, and the allocation of non-structural carbohydrates has potential negative implications on tree growth.

Priming crops for the future: rewiring stress memory

Haipei Liu et al.

Summary: The agricultural sector needs to produce climate-resilient crops to meet global food demand. Recent research on plant stress memory has provided new opportunities for crop improvement. Stress memory enables plants to better respond to recurrent stress and cross-stress tolerance can benefit their ability to withstand secondary stress.

Induction and potential role of summer dormancy to enhance persistence of perennial grasses under warmer climates

Ammar Shihan et al.

Summary: Summer dormancy is a survival strategy for grasses adapted to hot and dry summers, and its induction is influenced by temperature. The expression of summer dormancy may expand in regions with increasing summer aridity under future climate warming scenarios.

Towards an Evolutionary Theory of Stress Responses

Barbara Taborsky et al.

Summary: All organisms have different stress response systems to cope with environmental threats, with environmental predictability and physiological constraints being key factors shaping stress response evolution. An integrated research programme combining theory, experimental evolution, and comparative analysis is needed to advance scientific understanding of how this core physiological system has evolved.

A unifying, eco-physiological framework for animal dormancy

Kathryn Wilsterman et al.

Summary: Animals across different taxonomic groups exhibit similar phenotypes during programmed dormancy in highly seasonal environments, but research on dormancy has been historically limited by phylogenetic barriers. A broad comparative approach could provide new insights into the evolution of programmed dormancy.

Spatial and temporal shifts in photoperiod with climate change

A. K. Ettinger et al.

Summary: Climate change leads to shifts in both temporal and geographic species distributions, impacting the photoperiod experienced at critical developmental stages. Studies suggest that the effects of temporal shifts on experienced photoperiod could be significantly greater than those of spatial shifts. Integrating these effects into climate change forecasts could improve our understanding and predictions of future spatio-temporal shifts.

The interplay of hydraulic failure and cell vitality explains tree capacity to recover from drought

Marylou Mantova et al.

Summary: Global climatic models predict an increase in drought events, impacting forest dieback. This study aimed to identify key physiological traits determining tree recovery from drought. Results suggest that RWCStem and EL, rather than PLC, are better indicators of tree recovery capacity. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings for angiosperm species.

To grow or survive: Which are the strategies of a perennial grass to face severe seasonal stress?

Thomas Keep et al.

Summary: This study examined the intraspecific variability in strategies to face drought and frost within perennial ryegrass and identified a trade-off between growth potential and dehydration or frost stress survival. The research highlights the importance of seasonal modulation of growth potential for plant adaptation under severe chronic abiotic stresses, emphasizing the need to integrate phenological traits as key components of plant strategies for future regional distribution under climate change.

Linking plant hydraulics and the fast-slow continuum to understand resilience to drought in tropical ecosystems

Rafael S. Oliveira et al.

Summary: Tropical ecosystems have the highest levels of biodiversity, water cycling, and carbon absorption on Earth. Plant hydraulics is crucial for understanding and predicting the dynamics of tropical vegetation, with a trade-off between drought avoidance and hydraulic safety being a major axis of physiological variation. Additionally, there is a proposed axis of hydraulic trait variation linking vulnerability to hydraulic failure and growth, impacting community assembly and potentially making simulated rainforest communities more vulnerable to drought.

Coordination of spring vascular and organ phenology in deciduous angiosperms growing in seasonally cold climates

Jessica A. Savage et al.

Summary: This article explores how woody plants adapt to seasonal changes in cold climates by analyzing the relationship between leaves, flowers, and vascular development. It is found that buds do not require vascular support in early development, but leaves and flowers need to reconnect to the vascular system after organ expansion. More research is needed to understand the timing of vascular development and synchronization among different parts of the plant's vasculature.

Hydraulically-vulnerable trees survive on deep-water access during droughts in a tropical forest

Rutuja Chitra-Tarak et al.

Summary: Deep-water access is an important mechanism for plants to survive drought, delaying dehydration and reducing mortality rates. Research shows that the extent of deep-water access in tree species is related to root depth, dehydration risk, and can help reduce mortality risk caused by drought.

Winter belowground: Changing winters and the perennating organs of herbaceous plants

Frederick Curtis Lubbe et al.

Summary: Winter conditions have a significant impact on the success of herbaceous perennial plants, and their adaptation strategies can be influenced by factors such as exposure to damaging frost, winter warming, and changes in precipitation patterns. Climate change can alter snow cover depth and duration, affecting the exposure of plants to frost and potentially leading to shifts in spring growth cycles. Assessing organ biomass and storage carbohydrate content can provide insights into how winter conditions impact plant growth potential, and understanding plant overwintering strategies is crucial for predicting the effects of changing winter conditions on different species.

Late to bed, late to rise-Warmer autumn temperatures delay spring phenology by delaying dormancy

Ilka Beil et al.

Summary: The spring phenology of temperate forest trees has been advancing due to climate warming, but a study found that warming in autumn may delay spring phenology despite continuous temperature rise, indicating that the shortening of winter, rather than warmer winters, is a major reason for the decline in spring phenology.
