The aftermath of an invasion: Structure and composition of Central Appalachian hemlock forests following establishment of the hemlock woolly adelgid, Adelges tsugae (2010, background): “Larger seedlings/ saplings (1.37‐2.7 m) may be able to take advantage of enhanced light penetration due to canopy thinning, whereas their smaller counterparts cannot, by either failing to receive the additional light, or perhaps due to physiological limitations needed to take advantage of enhanced r”
Sensitivity and uncertainty analysis from a coupled 3-PG and soil organic matter decomposition model (2008, background): “Fertile sites have bigger pFS20 , as they have greater supply of nutrient and greater photosynthetic capabilities (Mencuccini, 2003).”
ADAPTIVE VARIATION IN THE VULNERABILITY OF WOODY PLANTS TO XYLEM CAVITATION (2004, methodology): “6F, Table 3).”
Adjustment of structure and function of Hawaiian Metrosideros polymorpha at high vs. low precipitation (2007, background): “ponderosa may reflect long-term acclimation and/or adaptation; whereas short-term effects of dry conditions might more typically lead to reduced KL and gas exchange (Mencuccini 2003).”
Effects of irrigation on water use and water use efficiency in two fast growing Eucalyptus plantations (2010, background): “hydraulic conductivity and leaf area to sapwood ratios) (Hubbard et al., 2001; McDowell et al., 2002; Mencuccini, 2003; Zeppel and Eamus, 2008) thus influencing the amount of water trees use over short and long time scales.”
Xylem hydraulic safety margins in woody plants: coordination of stomatal control of xylem tension with hydraulic capacitance (2009, neutral): “As a consequence, stomatal control of vapour phase conductance is closely coordinated with dynamic changes in the hydraulic properties of the water transport pathway upstream (Meinzer & Grantz 1990; Cochard et al. 2000; Hubbard et al. 2001; Mencuccini 2003).”
The scaling of genome size and cell size limits maximum rates of photosynthesis with implications for ecological strategies (2019, background): “Desert shrubs have the highest rates of stem hydraulic 416 conductance measured in C3 plants (Mencuccini 2003), and even among species from 417 humid tropical forests, dry forest species have higher hydraulic conductance than wet 418 forest species (Brenes-Arguedas et al.”
Mechanisms of plant survival and mortality during drought: why do some plants survive while others succumb to drought? (2008, background): “These adjustments are influenced over decadal time scales in response to climate, plant size, edaphic properties such as soil texture and depth, and stand density (Maherali & DeLucia, 2001; McDowell et al., 2002a, 2006; Sperry et al., 2002; Mencuccini, 2003).”
Interspecific variation in functional traits, not climatic differences among species ranges, determines demographic rates across 44 temperate and Mediterranean tree species (2010, background): “However, height also incurs many costs in terms of construction and maintenance of support and transport structures (Westoby et al. 2002;Mencuccini 2003), and increased risks of buckling and dysfunctions in the water transport system (Koch et al. 2004; Sperry, Meinzer &McCulloh 2008).”
Integrated responses of hydraulic architecture, water and carbon relations of western hemlock to dwarf mistletoe infection (2004, background): “© 2004 Blackwell Publishing Ltd, Plant, Cell and Environment, 27, 937–946 at the sites of infection can be expected to have a pronounced impact on branch hydraulic architecture, which in turn should influence stomatal regulation of gas exchange (Meinzer 2002; Mencuccini 2003).”
Variation in hydraulic conductivity of mangroves: influence of species, salinity, and nitrogen and phosphorus availability (2006, background): “Although species differences in Kleaf are evident (Table 1), environmental factors can modulate Kleaf in complex ways, with consequences at both the plant and ecosystem levels ( Mencuccini 2003 ).”
Perpetuating old ponderosa pine (2007, background): “There are a number of changes in tree morphology and physiology that may compensate for the hydraulic constraints that occur in large, old trees (Mencuccini and Magnani, 2000; McDowell et al., 2002a; Mencuccini, 2003; Ryan et al., 2006).”
Biological constraints on water transport in the soil–plant–atmosphere system (2013, background): “, changes in water stored in the plant tissues are small compared to the total transpiration flux) and considering a mean water flux in the xylem (FP 1⁄4 kPðwPÞDH=h), transpiration can be obtained from the continuity condition as a function of plant conductance and water potential difference between”
