The hydraulic limitation hypothesis revisited
We proposed the hydraulic limitation hypothesis (HLH) as a mechanism to explain universal
patterns in tree height, and tree and stand biomass growth: height growth slows down as …

Fog interception by Sequoia sempervirens (D. Don) crowns decouples physiology from soil water deficit
Although crown wetting events can increase plant water status, leaf wetting is thought to
negatively affect plant carbon balance by depressing photosynthesis and growth. We …

Homeostatic maintenance of ponderosa pine gas exchange in response to stand density changes
Homeostatic maintenance of gas exchange optimizes carbon gain per water loss.
Homeostasis is regulated by short‐term physiological and long‐term structural mechanisms …

Perpetuating old ponderosa pine
We review current knowledge about the use of management treatments to reduce human-
induced threats to old ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) trees. We address the following …

The influence of thinning on components of stand water balance in a ponderosa pine forest stand during and after extreme drought
To understand the effect of restoration thinning on the water balance of upland semi-arid
ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forests of the southwestern US, we compared the …

Tree size-and age-related changes in leaf physiology and their influence on carbon gain
Understanding how leaf-level physiology changes with tree size and age is important for
scaling single leaf measurements to the whole plant and stand level and for quantifying …

Warming and the dependence of limber pine (Pinus flexilis) establishment on summer soil moisture within and above its current elevation range
Continued changes in climate are projected to alter the geographic distributions of plant
species, in part by affecting where individuals can establish from seed. We tested the …

The role of stand density on growth efficiency, leaf area index, and resin flow in southwestern ponderosa pine forests
We examined the response of growth efficiency (GE), leaf area index (LAI), and resin flow
