Increased drought frequency and severity may reshape tree species distribution in arid environments. Dioecious be more sensitive to climate warming if sex-related vulnerability occurs, since lower performance of one sex drive differential stress tolerance, mortality rates biased ratios. We explored the effect environment on branch hydraulic (hydraulic conductivity embolism) trunk anatomical traits both sexes dioecious conifer Juniperus thurifera L. at two sites with contrasting water...
Ailanthus altissima and Robina pseudoacacia are two successful invasive species of floodplains in central Spain. We aim to explain their success as invaders this habitat by exploring phenological pattern, vegetative sexual reproductive growth, allometric relations, comparing them with those the dominant native tree Populus alba. During a full annual cycle we follow timing flowering, fruit set, leaf abscission dispersal. Growth was assessed harvesting two-year old branches at peaks...
Many studies have reported that hydraulic properties vary considerably between tree species, but little is known about their intraspecific variation and, therefore, capacity to adapt a warmer and drier climate. Here, we quantify phenotypic divergence clinal for embolism resistance, conductivity branch growth, in four two angiosperms (Betula pendula, Populus tremula) conifers (Picea abies, Pinus sylvestris), across latitudinal distribution Europe. Growth efficiency varied widely within...
Most populations of Scots pine in Spain are locally adapted to drought, with only a few at the southernmost part distribution range showing maladaptations current climate. Increasing tree heights predicted for most studied by year 2070, under RCP 8.5 scenario. These results probably linked capacity this species acclimatize new climates. The impact climate change on growth depends many processes, including individuals respond changes environment. Pines often their environments, leading...
The recent massive dieback of forest trees due to drought stress makes assessment the variability physiological traits that might be critical for predicting response and adaptation climate change even more urgent. We investigated xylem vulnerability cavitation specific hydraulic conductivity in seven species three principal conifer genera (Juniperus monticola, Juniperus deppeana, flaccida, Pinus pseudostrobus, leiophylla, devoniana, endangered Picea chihuahuana) Mexican mountains order...
Intraspecific trait variation is ubiquitous and likely to influence species coexistence. Despite theoretical progress, empirical work on the effects of intraspecific dynamics competing rare. This because formidable requirements necessary link in species' functional traits with demographic competitive rates that mediate Here we partially overcome these challenges determine how reproductive phenology a native Californian annual plant Lasthenia californica affects its ability coexist two...
