Species intraspecific variation drives tropical forest drought resistance.

Severe droughts are increasingly driving tree mortality, yet predicting forest resilience remains limited by a lack of understanding of within-species variation in drought resistance 1-4 .

Severe droughts are increasingly driving tree mortality, yet predicting forest resilience remains limited by a lack of understanding of within-species variation in drought resistance 1-4 . Although hydraulic traits such as embolism resistance are central to drought survival,…
