Tip‐to‐base xylem conduit widening as an adaptation: causes, consequences, and empirical priorities
In the stems of terrestrial vascular plants studied to date, the diameter of xylem water‐
conducting conduits D widens predictably with distance from the stem tip L approximating …

Scaling of xylem vessel diameter with plant size: causes, predictions, and outstanding questions
Abstract Purpose of Review This review shows that a more or less constant rate of tip-to-
base vessel widening across species, together with the assumption that wider vessels are …

Plant height and hydraulic vulnerability to drought and cold
Understanding how plants survive drought and cold is increasingly important as plants
worldwide experience dieback with drought in moist places and grow taller with warming in …

Universal hydraulics of the flowering plants: vessel diameter scales with stem length across angiosperm lineages, habits and climates
Angiosperm hydraulic performance is crucially affected by the diameters of vessels, the
water conducting conduits in the wood. Hydraulic optimality models suggest that vessels …

Axial conduit widening in woody species: a still neglected anatomical pattern
Within a tree the lumen of the xylem conduits varies widely (by at least 1 order of
magnitude). Transversally in the stem conduits are smaller close to the pith and larger in the …

Hydraulic trade-offs and space filling enable better predictions of vascular structure and function in plants
Plant vascular networks are central to botanical form, function, and diversity. Here, we
develop a theory for plant network scaling that is based on optimal space filling by the …

The Widened Pipe Model of plant hydraulic evolution
Sha** global water and carbon cycles, plants lift water from roots to leaves through xylem
conduits. The importance of xylem water conduction makes it crucial to understand how …

No need for pipes when the well is dry—a comment on hydraulic failure in trees
C Körner - Tree physiology, 2019 - academic.oup.com
Increased tree mortality due to severe drought has become a widely debated topic in tree
physiology. There is a rich literature illustrating that severe drought is likely to kill many trees …

Dosing in children: a critical review of the pharmacokinetic allometric scaling and modelling approaches in paediatric drug development and clinical settings
I Mahmood - Clinical pharmacokinetics, 2014 - Springer
It should be recognized that children are not small adults, hence dosing in children should
not be a 'small adult dose'. A mean population dose in all age groups is just an average …
