Relative growth rates of vines and shrubs of western poison oak, Toxicodendron diversilobum (Anacardiaceae)

Creator:

Gartner, Barbara L.

Abstract:

Because of different mechanical constraints on vines and self-supporting plants, vines are thought to differ from trees and shrubs in a variety of their growth characteristics. I tested the hypotheses that vines grow faster than shrubs and that supported shoots have delayed leaf expansion relative to stem elongation, using western...

Water transport properties of vine and tree stems in a tropical deciduous forest

Creator:

Gartner, Barbara L., Bullock, Stephen H., Mooney, Harold A., Brown, V. By, and Whitbeck, Julie L.

Abstract:

Excised stem segments of vines had higher specific hydraulic conductivies (flow rate per pressure gradient per stem transverse area) than did trees during the dry season in a deciduous forest in Jalisco, Mexico. Vine species averaged from 2.7 to 203 x 10-3 m2 MPa-1 s-1 and tree species from 0.8...
