Key message Although the radial diameter and wall thickness of conifer tracheids from dry
environments are climatic-sensitive across the full ring area, each cell parameter has a …

Increasing dryness challenges trees' ability to maintain water transport to the leaves. Most
plant hydraulics models use a static xylem response to water stress. Yet, in reality, lower soil …

Although the leaf economic spectrum has deepened our understanding of leaf trait
variability, little is known about how leaf traits scale with leaf area. This uncertainty has …

Ecological communities exhibit pervasive patterns and interrelationships between size,
abundance, and the availability of resources. We use scaling ideas to develop a unified …

This book introduces a holistic synthesis of carbon and nitrogen fluxes in forest ecosystems
from cell to stand level during the lifetime of trees. Establishing that metabolism and physical …

During the past decade, several detailed models of plant vascular transport systems (ie
xylem and phloem) have been presented in the literature, and many of them are currently …

Corners rule predicts a positive correlation between leaf dimensions and the cross-sectional
area of the primary stem. Although this relationship is usually explained by hydraulic and …

Seasonal dynamics of the timing and rate in cell production and differentiation imprint
climate signals into intra-ring variations of anatomical wood structure (eg intra-annual …

The antiflorigenic signal SELF-PRUNING, which controls growth habit, exerts its effects
through auxin transport, signaling and metabolism in tomato. Abstract The SELF PRUNING …
