Contrasting Hydraulic Strategies in Two Tropical Lianas and Their Host Trees

Creator:

Johnson, Daniel M., Domec, Jean-Christophe, Woodruff, David R., McCulloh, Katherine A., and Meinzer, Frederick C.

Abstract:

• Premise of the Study: Tropical liana abundance has been increasing over the past 40 yr, which has been associated with reduced rainfall. The proposed mechanism allowing lianas to thrive in dry conditions is deeper root systems than co-occurring trees, although we know very little about the fundamental hydraulic physiology...

Hydraulic architecture of two species differing in wood density: opposing strategies in co-occurring tropical pioneer treespce_2421 116..

Creator:

McCulloh, Katherine A., Johnson, Daniel M., Meinzer, Frederick C., Voelker, Steven L., Lachenbruch, Barbara, and Domec, Jean-Christophe

Abstract:

Co-occurring species often have different strategies for tolerating daily cycles of water stress. One underlying parameter that can link together the suite of traits that enables a given strategy is wood density. Here we compare hydraulic traits of two pioneer species from a tropical forest in Panama that differ in...
