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...

An Annual Pattern of Native Embolism in Upper Branches of Four Tall Conifer Species

Creator:

McCulloh, Katherine A., Johnson, Daniel M., Meinzer, Frederick C., and Lachenbruch, Barbara

Abstract:

Premise of the study: The Pacific Northwest of North America experiences relatively mild winters and dry summers. For the tall coniferous trees that grow in this region, we predicted that loss in the hydraulic conductivity of uppermost branches would be avoided because of difficulty reversing accumulated emboli in xylem that...
