Abstract
A light microscopy image depicting a transverse section of stem wood from Lithocarpus henryi, collected at Mt. Tiantong. This species, a member of the Fagaceae family, possesses a substantial wood parenchyma fraction, along with a remarkable growth recovery after drought events. (Credit: Xijin Zhang)
The authors behind this month's cover photo (https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2435.14680) compiled a global tree-ring data set to evaluate the relationship between growth resistance, resilience or recovery from drought and xylem parenchyma tissue fractions of 50 angiosperms, and assessed the influence of climate and phylogeny on these relationships. They found that growth recovery after drought was positively related to the fractions of total parenchyma locally and globally and remained statistically significant when accounting for the effects of climate and phylogeny. These results suggest that drought recovery of angiosperm trees is affected by the amount of parenchyma. Incorporating xylem parenchyma fraction with other traits, such as hydraulic traits, could therefore enhance our comprehension of how various angiosperm tree species will respond to future droughts.
期刊介绍：
Functional Ecology publishes high-impact papers that enable a mechanistic understanding of ecological pattern and process from the organismic to the ecosystem scale. Because of the multifaceted nature of this challenge, papers can be based on a wide range of approaches. Thus, manuscripts may vary from physiological, genetics, life-history, and behavioural perspectives for organismal studies to community and biogeochemical studies when the goal is to understand ecosystem and larger scale ecological phenomena. We believe that the diverse nature of our journal is a strength, not a weakness, and we are open-minded about the variety of data, research approaches and types of studies that we publish. Certain key areas will continue to be emphasized: studies that integrate genomics with ecology, studies that examine how key aspects of physiology (e.g., stress) impact the ecology of animals and plants, or vice versa, and how evolution shapes interactions among function and ecological traits. Ecology has increasingly moved towards the realization that organismal traits and activities are vital for understanding community dynamics and ecosystem processes, particularly in response to the rapid global changes occurring in earth’s environment, and Functional Ecology aims to publish such integrative papers.
