Does fruit size influence shoot structure across a latitudinal gradient in southern Japan?

In an unpredictable future climate, planting for less climate sensitivity may prove wiser than attempting to find trees geared for warmer weather.

Can variation in the essential oil yield of juniper be explained by a trade off between growth, defence and reproduction?

Within the Bauhinia genus is there a trade off between stem strength and hydraulic efficiency?

Can a split pot design provide insights into belowground competition between neighbouring plants?

A reduction in height but an increase in tillers suggests that wheat may benefit from a little mechanical stress.

Drought and rising temperatures can cause massive forest diebacks around the world. When a tree is experiencing drought, “shedding off” the leaves can enhance tree water status by reducing canopy transpiration. Whilst botanists can investigate the effect of drought relatively simply in a greenhouse of a single species, forests are complex ecosystems and require long-term […]

A high biomechanical resistance was found to be associated with considerable hydraulic safety

Season variability is a major driver of clover architecture and biomass development.

Clonal reproduction is a desirable trait to possess as an invasive plant and has helped Praxelis clematidea to become highly invasive around the world.

The study implies that the generally overlooked role of storage within the plant economic spectrum represents an important dimension of plant strategy.
