Stomatal responses to humidity, soil moisture and other factors that influence plant water
status are critical drivers of photosynthesis, productivity, water yield, ecohydrology and …

Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the evidence for the pattern of growth decline with
age and discusses the evidence for the mechanisms that may be responsible. It begins with …

It is clear that stomata play a critical role in regulating water loss from terrestrial vegetation.
What is not clear is how this regulation is achieved. Stomata appear to respond to …

Stomatal conductance (gs) and transpiration (E) are often positively correlated with the
hydraulic conductance of the soil–leaf continuum (ks–l). Interaction between gs and ks–l …

Plants require the capacity for quick and precise recognition of external stimuli within their
environment for survival. Upon exposure to biotic (herbivores and pathogens) or abiotic …

Forest management is a complex process that now incorporates information obtained from
many sources. It is increasingly obvious that the physiological status of the trees in a forest …

Reduced stomatal conductance (gs) during soil drought in angiosperms may result from
effects of leaf turgor on stomata and/or factors that do not directly depend on leaf turgor …

The vast majority of measurements in the field of plant hydraulics have been on small‐
diameter branches from woody species. These measurements have provided considerable …

Functional convergence in hydraulic architecture and water relations, and potential trade-
offs in resource allocation were investigated in six dominant neotropical savanna tree …

We tested the hypotheses that hydraulic conductance is lower in old (about 250 years old
and 30 m tall) compared to young (about 40 years old and 10 m tall) Pinus ponderosa …
