BACKGROUND AND AIMS
Photosynthetic tissues of terrestrial plants require a continuous water supply to avoid desiccation while allowing CO2 to diffuse to chloroplasts. This imposes a functional coordination between water-conducting tissues and stomatal regulation. What is the anatomical basis of this coordination?

Increasingly frequent summer droughts are intensifying stem dehydration across European forests, constraining tree growth and resilience. Even mild water-related stress can inhibit tree growth, although its impact is species-specific. Tree water deficit (TWD), a measure deduced from radial stem contraction during droug...

Forests regulate climate and sustain biodiversity, but their resilience is increasingly threatened by drought-induced hydraulic failure, when xylem water transport is impaired by embolism. A critical but poorly constrained determinant of this risk largely due to limited observations of deep root water uptake is the amo...

Investigation of intra-specific phenological variation in Quercus petraea across the French Pyrenees using a multi-environment experimental framework reveals phase-specific differences in phenological responses, with stronger temperature-associated plasticity in spring than in autumn phenology.
