Dimensions of invasiveness: Links between local abundance, geographic range siz...
Fristoe, Trevor S; Chytrý, Milan; Dawson, Wayne; Essl, Franz; Heleno, Ruben; Kreft, Holger; Maurel, Noëlie; Pergl, Jan; Pyšek, Petr; Seebens, HannoUnderstanding drivers of success for alien species can inform on potential future invasions. Recent conceptual advances highlight that species may achieve invasiveness via performance along at least three distinct dimensions: 1) local abundance, 2) geographic range size, and 3) habitat breadth in naturalized distributions. Associations among these dimensions and the factors that determine success in each have y...
Low growth resilience to drought is related to future mortality risk in trees
DeSoto, Lucía; Cailleret, Maxime; Sterck, Frank; Jansen, Steven; Kramer, Koen; Robert, Elisabeth M R; Aakala, Tuomas; Amoroso, Mariano MSevere droughts have the potential to reduce forest productivity and trigger tree mortality. Most trees face several drought events during their life and therefore resilience to dry conditions may be crucial to long-term survival. We assessed how growth resilience to severe droughts, including its components resistance and recovery, is related to the ability to survive future droughts by using a tree-ring datab...
Root xylem in three woody angiosperm species is not more vulnerable to embolism...
Wu, Min; Zhang, Ya; Oya, Thais [UNESP]; Marcati, Carmen Regina [UNESP]; Pereira, Luciano; Jansen, StevenMade available in DSpace on 2020-12-12T02:04:19Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-05-01; National Natural Science Foundation of China; Aims: Since plants are compartmentalised organisms, failure of their hydraulic transport system could differ between organs. We test here whether xylem tissue of stems and roots differ in their drought-induced embolism resistance, and whether intact roots ar...
