Scott A. M. McAdam

Scott A. M. McAdam studies how plants manage water, especially how stomata (tiny pores on leaves that control water loss and gas exchange) and the internal plumbing of stems, roots, and leaves respond to drought and other stresses. His work spans molecular signaling (like the plant hormone abscisic acid), physical plant structures (xylem vessels, leaf anatomy), and whole-plant responses to environmental conditions such as drought, wind, and urban heat. This research is relevant to understanding how forests, crops, and other vegetation cope with water scarcity and changing climate conditions.

Publication output has grown over the past decade, rising from around 5-10 papers per year earlier on to a peak of 19 in 2025, indicating an active and expanding research output.
