Hydraulic properties of compression wood in branches and reoriented shoots of Douglas-fir (Psuedotsuga menziesii)

Creator:

Spicer, Rachel

Abstract:

Xylem anatomy is a strong determinant of water transport efficiency and is therefore an important component of the overall hydraulic strategy of any woody plant. However, in addition to its role in water transport, xylem also serves in mechanical support, and these two functions may represent conflicting design requirements. To...

Water movement in the stem xylem in relation to xylem specific conductivity in four hardwood species

Creator:

Fallas-Cedeño, Lottie

Abstract:

In deciduous species, water exits stems mainly through leaf traces attached to the outer growth ring and yet we know that water ascends throughout the entire cross-section of the sapwood. There is an increasing amount of information on sap flow and sapwood hydraulic properties from separate studies, but little information...
