Tree diversity reduces variability in sapling survival under drought
Charlotte Grossiord, Jingjing Liang, Xiaojuan Liu
Enhancing tree diversity may be important to fostering resilience to drought-related climate extremes. So far, little attention has been given to whether tree diversity can increase the survival of trees and reduce its variability in young forest plantatio ...
Wiley2024From roots to canopy: Unraveling the influence of species diversity on tree water relations under warmer and drier climates
The worsening of drought events with rising air temperature alters tree water relations causing severe hydraulic impairments and widespread forest mortality. Mixing tree species with contrasting hydraulic traits could reduce forest vulnerability to extreme ...
EPFL2024Seasonal variation in the xylem sap composition of six Australian trees and shrubs
Alice Jacqueline Frédérique Gauthey
In recent years, xylem sap composition has been shown to affect xylem hydraulics. However, information on how much xylem sap composition can vary across seasons and specifically under drought stress is still limited. We measured xylem sap chemical composit ...
Oxford2023Understanding the mechanisms of non-thermal plasma treatments on seeds
The motivation driving plasma-seed treatment research is the renewed importance of sustainable, eco-friendly agriculture. There is a constant interest in finding alternatives to minimize resource use and environmental degradation, while ensuring healthy se ...
EPFL2022Foliar respiration is related to photosynthetic, growth and carbohydrate response to experimental drought and elevated temperature
Short-term plant respiration (R) increases exponentially with rising temperature, but drought could reduce respiration by reducing growth and metabolism. Acclimation may alter these responses. We examined if species with different drought responses would d ...
WILEY2021Seed Selection for Successful Fuzzing
Mutation-based greybox fuzzing-unquestionably the most widely-used fuzzing technique-relies on a set of non-crashing seed inputs (a corpus) to bootstrap the bug-finding process. When evaluating a fuzzer, common approaches for constructing this corpus inclu ...
ASSOC COMPUTING MACHINERY2021Mechanisms of Plasma-Seed Treatments as a Potential Seed Processing Technology
Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Alexandra Waskow
Plasma treatments are currently being assessed as a seed processing technology for agricultural purposes where seeds are typically subjected to pre-sowing treatments to improve the likelihood of timely and uniform germination. The aim of this review is to ...
2021Persistent decay of fresh xylem hydraulic conductivity varies with pressure gradient and marks plant responses to injury
Defining plant hydraulic traits is central to the quantification of ecohydrological processes ranging from land-atmosphere interactions, to tree mortality and water-carbon budgets. A key plant trait is the xylem specific hydraulic conductivity (Kx), that d ...
2020The response of stomatal conductance to seasonal drought in tropical forests
Stomata regulate CO2 uptake for photosynthesis and water loss through transpiration. The approaches used to represent stomatal conductance (g s) in models vary. In particular, current understanding of drivers of the variation in a key parameter in those mo ...
2020Genetic variation and evolutionary history of a mycorrhizal fungus regulate the currency of exchange in symbiosis with the food security crop cassava
Most land plants form symbioses with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). Diversity of AMF increases plant community productivity and plant diversity. For decades, it was known that plants trade carbohydrates for phosphate with their fungal symbionts. Howev ...
