Drought resistance of Quercus pubescens as a function of root hydraulic conductance, xylem embolism and hydraulic architecture

Water relations, xylem embolism, root and shoot hydraulic conductance of both young plants in the field and potted seedlings of Quercus pubescens have been studied with the aim of investigating whether these variables may account for the well known adaptation of this oak species to arid habitats. Ou...
