Abstract excerpt
Xylem hydraulic failure is a major driver of tree death during drought. However, to better understand mortality risk in trees, especially during hot-drought events, more information is required on both rates of residual water-loss from small branches (gres ) after stomatal closure, as well as the phase transition temperature (Tp ), beyond which gres significantly increases. Here, we describe and test a novel...
