Lack of Hydraulic Acclimation in Response to Multiple Droughts and Recovery

Jaycie C. Fickle; Kelly L. Kerr; Lillie I. Congram; et al. Plant Cell & Environment 2026. doi:10.1111/pce.70671

Other claims from this paper (4)

Intervention effect A recovery year between two droughts gave trees less drought resilience than consecutive drought treatments.
Intervention effect Recovery treatment increased xylem damage in older rings.

Hurricane Damage to a Hawaiian Forest: Nutrient Supply Rate Affects Resistance and Resilience

Darrell A. Herbert; James H. Fownes; Peter M. Vitousek Ecology 1999. doi:10.2307/177027

Other claims from this paper (18)

Observation Leaf area index was reduced by 3% to 59% after Hurricane Iniki.
Association Leaf area index reductions after the hurricane were correlated with prehurricane LAI.
Association Leaf area index reductions were greatest in P-amended treatments.
Observation Leaf area index recovered to near prehurricane levels within 9 months after the hurricane.
Association Rates of leaf area index recovery were unaffected by treatment.
Observation Fine root mortality after the hurricane ranged from 35% to 48%.
Observation Fine root mortality recovered within 2 years after the hurricane.
Observation Stem damage from the hurricane was largely branch removal.
Association Large trees were damaged more frequently than small trees.
Observation Fine litterfall caused by the storm was 1.4 times the annual input.
Association Nutrient transfers to the forest floor after the hurricane approximated those of a typical year.
Intervention effect In +P treatments, stem diameter increment and ANPP declined after the hurricane but returned to prehurricane values 2 years later.
Intervention effect In -P treatments, stem diameter increment and ANPP remained low after the hurricane.
Association ANPP per unit leaf area was much greater in +P treatments.
Association Ecosystem resistance and resilience are inversely related.
Association Resistance decreases as supply rates of limiting resources increase.
Association Resilience increases as supply rates of limiting resources increase.
Recommendation Structural and functional components of resistance and resilience should be considered separately.

Other claims from this paper (8)

Intervention effect Low doses of ionizing radiation apparently stimulated growth of Salix nigra cuttings.
Intervention effect Higher radiation doses progressively retarded growth of Salix nigra cuttings.
Association Staminate catkin growth was inversely proportional to total exposure dose.
Intervention effect Pollen grain viability increased with gamma radiation up to 100 r.
Intervention effect Pollen viability was progressively lower from 400 r up to 4 Kr of gamma radiation.
Observation Exposure to 10 Kr gamma radiation caused 100% mortality of the cuttings.
Observation The highest growth rate at ninety days occurred at the highest surviving exposure dose.
Association Total RNA and protein concentrations were sensitive even to the lowest exposure doses.
