Stomatal regulation, leaf water relations, and leaf phenology are coordinated in tree species from the Sonoran Desert Open
To cope with heat and water stress, evergreen and deciduous species from hot and arid deserts should adjust their stomatal conductance (gs) and leaf water potential (Ψleaf) regulation in response to changes in soil water availability, high…

A low‐cost protocol for the optical method of vulnerability curves to calculate <i>P</i><sub>50</sub> Open
Premise The quantification of plant drought resistance, particularly embolism formation, within and across species, is critical for ecosystem management and agriculture. We developed a cost‐effective protocol to measure the water potential…

Intra and interspecific variation in foliage phenology and leaf spectroscopy in nine Baja Californian shrub species Open
Background: Canopy phenology, foliar biochemistry, and leaf lifespan vary according to season within and across species. Intrinsically, this variation should also determine changes in the spectral properties of foliar tissue. However, whet…

Plant Foliar Geometry as a Biomimetic Template for Antenna Design Open
Plant diversity includes over 300,000 species, and leaf structure is one of the main targets of selection, being highly variable in shape and size. On the other hand, the optimization of antenna design has no unique solution to satisfy the…

Comparative Leaf Water Absorption Between Chaparral Island and Mainland Taxa: a Common Garden Experiment Open
In California and other Mediterranean-type ecosystems, island species are typically exposed to more fog but less rain than mainland species. Because adaptations to absorb water from fog may conflict with those to minimize water loss, we hy…

Studies of plant hydraulics and water relations in Mexican environments: adaptation, physiology, and applications Open
Given the outstanding global progress of research on the hydraulic pathway in plants, and its important role as an indicator of plant mortality risk, we reviewed: (1) the adaptive basis of hydraulic traits and their importance for overall …

Surface Reflectance–Derived Spectral Indices for Drought Detection: Application to the Guadalupe Valley Basin, Baja California, Mexico Open
Evaluating how meteorological drought affects areas covered by natural ecosystems is challenging due to the lack of ground-based climate data, historical records, and weather station observation with limited coverage. This research tests h…

Root biomechanics in Rhizophora mangle: anatomy, morphology and ecology of mangrove’s flying buttresses Open
In comparison with A. germinans, a tree species with wide girth and flare at the base, R. mangle supports a thinner stem of higher mechanical resistance that is stabilized by rhizophores resembling flying buttresses. This provides a unique…
