Safety factors for xylem failure by implosion and air-seeding within roots, trunks and branches of young and old conifer trees

Creator:: Domec, Jean-Christophe, Warren, Jeffrey M., Meinzer, Frederick C., and Lachenbruch, Barbara
Abstract:: The cohesion-tension theory of water transport states that hydrogen bonds hold water molecules together and that they are pulled through the xylem under tension. This tension could cause transport failure in at least two ways: collapse of the conduit walls (implosion), or rupture of the water column through air-seeding. The...

Bordered pit structure and function determine spatial patterns of air-seeding thresholds in xylem of Doulglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii; Pinaceae) trees

Creator:: Domec, Jean-Christophe, Lachenbruch, Barbara, and Meinzer, Frederick C.
Abstract:: The air‐seeding hypothesis predicts that xylem embolism resistance is linked directly to bordered pit functioning. We tested this prediction in trunks, roots, and branches at different vertical and radial locations in young and old trees of Pseudotsuga menziesii. Dimensions of bordered pits were measured from light and scanning electron micrographs,...

Transpiration-induced axial and radial tension gradients in trunks of Douglas-fir trees

Creator:: Domec, Jean-Christophe, Meinzer, Frederick C., Gartner, Barbara L., and Woodruff, D.
Abstract:: We determined the axial and radial xylem tension gradients in trunks of young Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) trees. Axial specific conductivity (ks-a) and sap flux density (Js) were measured at four consecutive depths within the sapwood at a stem height of 1 m. By definition, at a given position...

Dynamic variation in sapwood specific conductivity in six wood species

Creator:: Domec, Jean-Christophe, Meinzer, Frederick C., Lachenbruch, Barbara, and Housset, Johann
Abstract:: Our goals were to quantify how non-embolism-inducing pressure gradients influence trunk sapwood specific conductivity (ks) and to compare the impacts of constant and varying pressure gradients on ks with KCl and H2O as the perfusion solutions. We studied six woody species (three conifers and three angiosperms) which varied in pit...

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...

Maximum height in a conifer is associated with conflicting requirements for xylem design

Creator:: Domec, Jean-Christophe, Lachenbruch, Barbara, Meinzer, Frederick C., Woodruff, David R., Warren, Jeffrey M., and McCulloh, Katherine A.
Abstract:: Despite renewed interest in the nature of limitations on maximum tree height, the mechanisms governing ultimate and species-specific height limits are not yet understood, but likely involve water transport dynamics. Tall trees experience increased risk of xylem embolism from air-seeding because tension in their water column increases with height due...

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...

Comparative hydraulic architecture of tropical tree species representing a range of successional stages and wood density

Creator:: McCulloh, Katherine A., Meinzer, Frederick C., Sperry, John S., Lachenbruch, Barbara, Voelker, Steven L., Woodruff, David R., and Domec, Jean-Christophe
Abstract:: Plant hydraulic architecture (PHA) has been linked to water transport sufficiency, photosynthetic rates, growth form and attendant carbon allocation. Despite its influence on traits central to conferring an overall competitive advantage in a given environment, few studies have examined whether key aspects of PHA are indicative of successional stage, especially...

Dynamics of water transport and storage in conifers studied with deuterium and heat tracing techniques

Creator:: Meinzer, Frederick C., Brooks, J. R., Domec, Jean-Christophe, Gartner, Barbara L., Warren, J. M., Woodruff, D. R., Bible, K., and Shaw, D. C.
Abstract:: The volume and complexity of their vascular systems make the dynamics of long‐distance water transport in large trees difficult to study. We used heat and deuterated water (D₂O) as tracers to characterize whole‐tree water transport and storage properties in individual trees belonging to the coniferous species Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco...

W., Stambaugh, Michael C., Talhelm, Alan F., Tardif, Jacques C., Van de Water, Peter K., Ward, Joy K., and Wingate, Lisa
Abstract:: Rising atmospheric [CO₂], cₐ, is expected to affect stomatal regulation of leaf gas-exchange of woody plants, thus influencing energy fluxes as well as carbon (C), water, and nutrient cycling of forests. Researchers have proposed various strategies for stomatal regulation of leaf gas-exchange that include maintaining a constant leaf internal [CO₂],...
