Ecological differentiation in xylem cavitation resistance is associated with stem and leaf structural traits.

Plant, cell & environment - 1 Jan 2011

Abstract excerpt

Cavitation resistance is a critical determinant of drought tolerance in tropical tree species, but little is known of its association with life history strategies, particularly for seasonal dry forests, a system critically driven by variation in water availability. We analysed vulnerability curves for saplings of 13 tropical dry forest tree species differing in life history and leaf phenology. We examined how...
