Height-related trends in leaf xylem anatomy and shoot hydraulic characteristics in a tall conifer: safety versus efficiency in foliar water transport

Woodruff, D. R.; Meinzer, F. C.; Lachenbruch, B. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2008)

• Hydraulic vulnerability of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) branchlets decreases with height, allowing shoots at greater height to maintain hydraulic conductance (Kshoot) at more negative leaf water potentials (Ψl ...
