Replicated evolution in plants
Similar traits and functions commonly evolve in nature. Here, we explore patterns of
replicated evolution across the plant kingdom and discuss the processes responsible for …

[HTML][HTML] Basin-wide variation in tree hydraulic safety margins predicts the carbon balance of Amazon forests
Tropical forests face increasing climate risk,, yet our ability to predict their response to
climate change is limited by poor understanding of their resistance to water stress. Although …

Weak tradeoff between xylem safety and xylem‐specific hydraulic efficiency across the world's woody plant species
The evolution of lignified xylem allowed for the efficient transport of water under tension, but
also exposed the vascular network to the risk of gas emboli and the spread of gas between …

Visual quantification of embolism reveals leaf vulnerability to hydraulic failure
Vascular plant mortality during drought has been strongly linked to a failure of the internal
water transport system caused by the rapid invasion of air and subsequent blockage of …

Water deficits and hydraulic limits to leaf water supply
Many aspects of plant water use–particularly in response to soil drought–may have as their
basis the alteration of hydraulic conductance from soil to canopy. The regulation of plant …

Intervessel pit membrane thickness as a key determinant of embolism resistance in angiosperm xylem
Pit membranes in bordered pits between neighbouring vessels play a major role in the entry
of air-water menisci from an embolised vessel into a water-filled vessel (ie., air-seeding) …
