Three-and four-dimensional imaging techniques are a prerequisite for spatially resolving the form–structure–function relationships in plants. However, choosing the right imaging method …
Climate change increases the occurrence of prolonged drought periods with large implications for forest functioning. Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) is one of the most abundant …
The science of plant hydraulics has long sought to understand the fundamental mechanisms of how water moves through plant vascular systems (Dixon & Joly, 1895). Over the last 50 …
Damage to the plant water transport system through xylem cavitation is known to be a driver of plant death in drought conditions. However, a lack of techniques to continuously monitor …
The mechanisms by which woody plants recover xylem hydraulic capacity after drought stress are not well understood, particularly with regard to the role of embolism refilling. We …
During periods of dehydration, water transport through xylem conduits can become blocked by embolism formation. Xylem embolism compromises water supply to leaves and may lead …
Hydraulic failure of the plant vascular system is a principal cause of forest die‐off under drought. Accurate quantification of this process is essential to our understanding of the …
The seedling stage is the most susceptible one during a tree′ s life. Water relations may be crucial for seedlings due to their small roots, limited water buffers and the effects of drought …
