Compression wood has little impact on the water relations of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) seedlings despite a large effect on shoot hydraulic properties

• Compression wood has been shown to reduce stem permeability, but it is not known to what extent it affects leaf-level processes. Here, we report whole-plant hydraulic properties of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) seedlings induced to form varying amounts of compression wood. • Seedlings were g...
