Savanna Plants Have a Lower Hydraulic Efficiency than Co-Occurring Species in a Rainforest Open
A plant species can have diverse hydraulic strategies to adapt to different environments. However, the water transport divergence of co-occurring species in contrasting habitats remains poorly studied but is important for understanding the…

Lianas from lives to afterlives Open
Tropical forests constitute the world's largest biomass carbon pool and are important global reservoirs of biodiversity, yet they are being increasingly degraded by anthropogenic activities. Evidence from American tropical forests suggests…

Leaf habit differentiation explains trait tradeoffs across savanna woody plants Open
Identifying how leaf habit subdivisions link to the fast–slow and avoidance–tolerance trait tradeoffs can provide new insight into divergence in ecophysiological strategies among plant functional groups. Here, we tested a hypothesis that t…

Divergences in stem and leaf traits between lianas and coexisting trees in a subtropical montane forest Open
Patterns in functional trait variation associated with the ecological strategies of lianas and trees in subtropical montane forests remain poorly understood due to lack of trait comparisons. Here, we filled this gap by investigating trait …

Convergent relationships between flower economics and hydraulic traits across aquatic and terrestrial herbaceous plants Open
Maintaining open flowers is critical for successful pollination and depends on long-term water and carbon balance. Yet the relationship between how flower hydraulic traits are coordinated in different habitats is poorly understood. Here, w…

Physiological response and photosynthetic recovery to an extreme drought: Evidence from plants in a dry-hot valley savanna of Southwest China Open
The frequency of extreme drought events has been rising worldwide, but due to its unpredictability, how plants will respond remains poorly understood. Here, we aimed to characterize how the hydraulics and photosynthesis of savanna plants r…

You are what you eat: nutrient and water relations between mistletoes and hosts Open
Summary Mistletoes play important roles in biogeochemical cycles. Although many studies have compared nutrient concentrations between mistletoes and their hosts, no general patterns have been found and the nutrient uptake mechanisms in mis…

View article: Higher water and nutrient use efficiencies in savanna than in rainforest lianas result in no difference in photosynthesis
Higher water and nutrient use efficiencies in savanna than in rainforest lianas result in no difference in photosynthesis Open
Differences in traits between lianas and trees in tropical forests have been studied extensively; however, few have compared the ecological strategies of lianas from different habitats. Here, we measured 25 leaf and stem traits concerning …
View article: Differentiation in stem and leaf traits among sympatric lianas, scandent shrubs and trees in a subalpine cold temperate forest
Differentiation in stem and leaf traits among sympatric lianas, scandent shrubs and trees in a subalpine cold temperate forest Open
The scandent shrub plant form is a variant of liana that has upright and self-supporting stems when young but later becomes a climber. We aimed to explore the associations of stem and leaf traits among sympatric lianas, scandent shrubs and…

Overlapping Water and Nutrient Use Efficiencies and Carbon Assimilation between Coexisting Simple- and Compound-Leaved Trees from a Valley Savanna Open
Identifying differences in ecophysiology between simple and compound leaves can help understand the adaptive significance of the compound leaf form and its response to climate change. However, we still know surprisingly little about differ…
