Creator:: McCulloh, Katherine A., Johnson, Daniel M., Meinzer, Frederick C., and Woodruff, David R.
Abstract:: Recent work has suggested that plants differ in their relative reliance on structural avoidance of embolism versus maintenance of the xylem water column through dynamic traits such as capacitance, but we still know little about how and why species differ along this continuum. It is even less clear how or...

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...

Creator:: Johnson, Daniel M., McCulloh, Katherine A., Woodruff, David R., and Meinzer, Frederick C.
Abstract:: Angiosperm and coniferous tree species utilize a continuum of hydraulic strategies. Hydraulic safety margins (defined as differences between naturally occurring xylem pressures and pressures that would cause hydraulic dysfunction, or differences between pressures resulting in loss of hydraulic function in adjacent organs (e.g., stems vs. leaves) tend to be much...

Creator:: Johnson, Daniel M., McCulloh, Katherine A., Woodruff, David R., and Meinzer, Frederick C.
Abstract:: Hydraulic conductance of leaves (K[subscript leaf]) typically decreases with increasing water stress and recent studies have proposed different mechanisms responsible for decreasing K[subscript leaf]. We measured K[subscript leaf] concurrently with ultrasonic acoustic emissions (UAEs) in dehydrating leaves of several species to determine whether declining K[subscript leaf] was associated with xylem...

Abstract:: Given the fundamental importance of xylem safety and efficiency for plant survival and fitness, it is not surprising that these are among the most commonly studied features of hydraulic architecture. However, much remains to be learned about the nature and universality of conflicts between hydraulic safety and efficiency. Although selection...

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...

Abstract:: 1. The xylem pressure inducing 50% loss of hydraulic conductivity due to embolism widely used for comparisons of xylem vulnerability among species and across aridity However, despite its utility as an index of resistance to catastrophic xylem failure drought, P5o may have no special physiological relevance in the context of...

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...
