Changes in leaf morphology and anatomy with tree age and height in the broadleaved evergreen species, Eucalyptus regnans F. Muell (2005, background): “Woodruff et al. (2004) found that decreases in leaf dimensions and SLA were consistent with increasing turgor limitation on shoot growth with increasing height in Douglas-fir trees.”
AN EXPERIMENTAL TEST OF THE CAUSES OF FOREST GROWTH DECLINE WITH STAND AGE (2004, background): “…et al. 2003); (3) genetic programming (Greenwood 1989, Haffner et al. 1991); (4) reduced leaf area or photosynthetic capacity caused by declining nutrient availability; or (5) reduced foliar growth and perhaps photosynthesis because of reduced tugor pressure with tree height (Woodruff et al. 2004).”
Carbon dynamics in trees: feast or famine? (2012, background): “…that trends in stem elongation and foliar morphological characteristics occur largely due to the influence of water stress on cell turgor and associated limitations on the sink strength of growing tissues (Marshall and Monserud 2003, Woodruff et al. 2004, Ishii et al. 2008, Meinzer et al. 2008).”
The Physicochemical Hydrodynamics of Vascular Plants (2014, unknown): “…monotonic trends in some physiological properties (vessel and membrane structure, embolism threshold, photosynthetic efficiency, turgor pressure) as a function of height; these trends suggest adaptation to costs related to height (Woodruff et al. 2004, Domec et al. 2008, Ambrose et al. 2010).”
The hydraulic limitation hypothesis revisited. (2006, background): “…that remain to be tested include lower light capture per unit leaf area (Niinemets et al. 2005); changes in sinks, perhaps through lower turgor pressure (Woodruff et al. 2004); and changes in resource use as trees in stands segregate into a dominant or suppressed condition (Binkley et al. 2002).”
Growth, carbon‐isotope discrimination, and drought‐associated mortality across a Pinus ponderosa elevational transect (2010, background): “(2) Water stress constraints on symplastic carbon metabolism could occur if cell expansion, division, and carbohydrate use are limited by water potential (Körner, 2003; Alves & Setter, 2004; Woodruff et al., 2004; Ryan et al., 2006).”
Tree Size- and Age-Related Changes in Leaf Physiology and Their Influence on Carbon Gain (2011, background): “The age- and size-dependent increases in M A are still not fully understood, but they are possibly caused by the greater water stress in leaves of large trees (Niinemets and Kull 1995; Woodruff et al. 2004; Ambrose et al. 2009; Niinemets et al. 2009).”
Will a 385 million year‐struggle for light become a struggle for water and for carbon? – How trees may cope with more frequent climate change‐type drought events (2011, background): “low tissue water potentials during drought constraining cell metabolism (Woodruff et al., 2004; Ryan et al., 2006).”
Within-stand and seasonal variations of specific leaf area in a clonal Eucalyptus plantation in the Republic of Congo (2010, unknown): “(decreased leaf water potential) with height or branch length, due to gravity or path length resistance (Koch et al., 2004; Woodruff et al., 2004; Ryan et al., 2006; He et al., 2008; Du et al., 2008).”
Perpetuating old ponderosa pine (2007, background): “Moreover, cell turgor can decrease with increased tree size because tissue water potential becomes more negative (Koch et al., 2004; Woodruff et al., 2004).”
