More intense droughts under climate change threaten species resilience. Hydraulic strategies determine drought survival in woody species but are hardly explored in herbaceous species. Volaire et al. investigated the...

Comparison of winter and summer dormancy in herbaceous perennial species
Are winter and summer dormancy symmetrical seasonal adaptive strategies?
Summer dormancy and seasonal growth in California perennial grasses
Superior drought survival is expected to result in reduced productivity and competitive ability, but this expectation has seldom been tested in herbaceous perennial species. Balachowski et al. quantified seasonal...
Drought strategies in perennial forage species
Cell membrane stability, which ensures dehydration tolerance of roots and meristems, is positively and negatively correlated to fructan and sucrose contents, respectively.
