Water release through plant roots: new insights into its consequences at the plant and ecosystem level
Hydraulic redistribution (HR) is the passive movement of water between different soil parts
via plant root systems, driven by water potential gradients in the soil–plant interface. New …

Depth of soil water uptake by tropical rainforest trees during dry periods: does tree dimension matter?
Though the root biomass of tropical rainforest trees is concentrated in the upper soil layers,
soil water uptake by deep roots has been shown to contribute to tree transpiration. A precise …

Predicting shifts in the functional composition of tropical forests under increased drought and CO2 from trade‐offs among plant hydraulic traits
MK Bartlett, M Detto, SW Pacala - Ecology Letters, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Tropical forest responses are an important feedback on global change, but changes in forest
composition with projected increases in CO 2 and drought are highly uncertain. Here we …
