Variation in xylem structure and function in stems and roots of trees to 20 m depth

•  To assess hydraulic architecture and limitations to water transport across whole trees, we compared xylem anatomy, vulnerability to cavitation (Ψ50 ) and specific hydraulic conductivity (Ks ) of stems, shallow roots and deep roots (from caves to 20 m depth) for four species: Juniperus ashei, Bume...
