Species’ drought resistance is determined by a combination of multiple traits and their plastic response. However, a clear understanding of how these traits are coordinated and modulate plant responses to drought is still lacking.
Here we used a water exclusion experiment on 20 Mediterranean woody species to evaluate a new framework to study plant...
Plants show an extraordinary diversity in chemical composition and are characterized by different functional traits. However, relationships between the foliar primary and specialized metabolism in terms of metabolite numbers and composition as well as links with the leaf economics spectrum have rarely been explored. We investigated these relationsh...
Understanding which structural and functional traits are linked to species vulnerability to embolism formation (P50) may provide fundamental knowledge on plant strategies to maintain an efficient water transport. We measured P50, wood density (WD), mean conduit area (MCA), conduit density (CD), percentage areas occupied by vessels (VA), parenchyma...

Xylem resistance to embolism formation determines the species-specific drought tolerance and the survival prospects of plants under extreme climatic conditions. Fourier Transform-Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is a cost-effective and rapid analytical tool with potential beyond its current use in plant physiology. We tested the use of FTIR spectroscop...
