Sensitization rather than acclimation to chronic atmospheric aridity in invasive and native dryland C4 grasses.
Despite extreme heat and limited water availability, invasive plant species are rapidly expanding in arid ecosystems, threatening native biodiversity. To understand the physiological mechanisms underlying invasive success in water-limited ecosystems, we analyzed photosynthetic, hydraulic and morphological traits of the...
