Critical water contents at leaf, stem and root level leading to irreversible drought-induced damage in two woody and one herbaceous species

Patrizia Trifilo et al.

Summary: Plant water content is a crucial parameter for monitoring drought-induced plant mortality risk. The determination of critical water content thresholds is important for understanding the process of cell damage and plant death. Regardless of the organ, a relative water content value of 60% leads to significant cell membrane damage and loss of rehydration capacity, resulting in irreversible plant failure and death.

Hard and tough: the coordination between leaf mechanical resistance and drought tolerance

Andrea Nardini

Summary: Leaves of terrestrial plants vary in size, shape, and stiffness. Hard leaves with high LMA are more common in water- and nutrient-limited habitats, where stress-tolerance is important for survival. Coordination between leaf mechanical properties and drought tolerance can arise due to anatomical modifications that confer dehydration tolerance. Thick cell walls and longer major veins provide protection against water loss and alternative pathways for water delivery in drought conditions. These traits allow species to survive in dry habitats and maintain photosynthesis even under harsh conditions.

Different functional characteristics can explain different dimensions of plant invasion success

Huixuan Liao et al.

Summary: Different dimensions of invasion success are associated with different functional traits. Invasion success at the regional scale is related to traits that promote rapid colonization, while invasion success at the local scale is related to traits that are potentially less preferred by herbivores. Studying different dimensions of invasion success separately is important to avoid inconsistent or controversial conclusions.

The extra-vascular water pathway regulates dynamic leaf hydraulic decline and recovery in Populus nigra

Patrizia Trifilo et al.

Summary: The study found that leaf hydraulic conductance increased and became more vulnerable to dehydration under high irradiance conditions, mainly due to marked changes in the extra-vascular water pathway. After re-watering, leaf hydraulic conductance recovered in parallel with extra-vascular recovery, but its response to irradiance remained inhibited.

Alien plant invasions in Mediterranean habitats: an assessment for Sicily

Riccardo Guarino et al.

Summary: The study compared the levels of vascular plant invasion in different habitats and plant communities of Sicily, revealing that annual and woody species dominate the alien flora in the region, with alien species having longer flowering periods than native species. Different habitats varied significantly in their level of invasion by alien species, with most habitats having few or no aliens present, except for specific coastal areas, riverbeds, and synanthropic habitats. The number of alien species present in a habitat does not necessarily correspond to the severity of the impact of invasion in that habitat.

The success of alien plants in an arid ecosystem: Structural equation modeling reveals hidden effects of soil resources

Reham F. El-Barougy et al.

Summary: The study in Saint-Katherine-Protectorate in Egypt shows that in resource-rich environments, the abundance of alien plants increases while their performance decreases. On the other hand, in resource-limited environments, resistance is stronger when alien plants are functionally and phylogenetically similar to native plants.

Functional differentiation of invasive and native plants along a leaf efficiency/safety trade-off

Francesco Petruzzellis et al.

Summary: This study analyzed cost-related, hydraulic, and leaf vein traits of a large assemblage of native and invasive species in the Mediterranean area. Results showed that invasive species had lower leaf construction costs and drought resistance, but potentially higher efficiency in water transport. Additionally, invasive species tended to occupy the fast-growth region of the functional space, independently of growth form and site type.
