DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3877
Abstract: Subtropical evergreen broadleaf forest (SEBF) is experiencing and expected to suffer more frequent and severe drought events. However, how the hydraulic traits directly link to the mortality and recovery of SEBF trees remains unclear. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/aob/mcz104
Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIMS Hydraulic studies are currently biased towards conifers and dicotyledonous angiosperms; responses of arborescent monocots to increasing temperature and drought remain poorly known. This study aims to assess xylem resistance to drought-induced embolism… read more here.

Abstract: Embolism spreading in xylem is an important component of plant drought resistance. Since embolism resistance has been shown to be mechanistically linked to pit membrane characters in stem xylem, we speculate that similar mechanisms account… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/plphys/kiac293
Abstract: Long-distance transport of water is essential for plant function and this process is largely facilitated by the xylem. Water is transported under negative pressure within xylem conduits (i.e. unicellular tracheids and multicellular vessels) and between… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/treephys/tpac110
Abstract: The resistance of xylem conduits to embolism is a major factor defining drought tolerance and can set the distributional limits of species across rainfall gradients. Recent work suggests that the proximity of vessels to neighbors… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/plb.13384
Abstract: Drought events may increase the likelihood that the plant water transport system becomes interrupted by embolism. Yet our knowledge about the temporal frequency of xylem embolism in the field is frequently lacking, as it requires… read more here.
