Evidence for xylem embolism as a primary factor in dehydration-induced declines in leaf hydraulic conductance

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...
