Biological constraints on water transport in the soil–plant–atmosphere system (2013, background): “From the point of view of plant function, coordination among plant conductances improves the hydraulic efficiency along the SPAC [26–30], and the scaling of water supply with leaf photosynthetic capacity optimizes resource use [31–35].”
Diurnal depression of leaf hydraulic conductance in a tropical tree species (2004, positive): “The importance of the hydraulic vascular system in limiting gas exchange is well documented (Whitehead, Jarvis & Warning 1984; Brodribb & Feild 2000; Hubbard et al .”
Interspecific Relationships among Growth, Mortality and Xylem Traits of Woody Species from New Zealand (2010, background): “The diameter of angiosperm vessels, for example, is positively correlated with growth rate, because wider vessels allow greater rates of transpiration and photosynthesis (Castro-Diez et al. 1998; Denne, Cahalan & Aebischer 1999; Brodribb & Feild 2000; Stratton, Goldstein & Meinzer 2000).”
Variation in hydraulic conductivity of mangroves: influence of species, salinity, and nitrogen and phosphorus availability (2006, methodology): “Native stem hydraulic conductivity (Kh, kg m 1 s 1 MPa 1) was measured using a flow meter that measures the pressure drop across the stem segment relative to that across a capillary tube of known resistance (Brodribb & Feild 2000).”
Relationship between plant hydraulic and biochemical properties derived from a steady‐state coupled water and carbon transport model (2003, methodology): “However, it is not possible to compare directly the results of our model with those of Brodribb & Feild (2000) because they reported the mean quantum yield of photosystem II electron transport (φPSII) and provided no information about soil type, LAI, and ξc.”
Hydraulic properties and freezing‐induced cavitation in sympatric evergreen and deciduous oaks with contrasting habitats (2001, background): “Hydraulic properties, or the capabilities of plants to transport water from soil to leaves, are important both in determining how plants respond to water availability and in setting maximum rates of gas exchange (Sperry & Tyree 1988; 1990; Brodribb & Feild 2000).”
Morpho-Anatomical Traits for Plant Adaptation to Drought (2012, background): “The existence of a strong relation between leaf photosynthetic capacity and hydraulic supply of water to leaves has been shown in a group of conifers and angiosperm species, both vessel bearing and vessel less (Brodribb and Field 2000).”
The Evolution of Plant Functional Variation: Traits, Spectra, and Strategies (2003, background): “Hydraulic conductance is associated with photosynthesis in rainforest species (Brodribb and Feild 2000) and in other plant systems as well (Cochard et al. 1997; Linton et al. 1998; Comstock 2000; Tausend et al. 2000), which indicates coordination between the photosynthetic apparatus and hydraulic…”

Measurements of stem xylem hydraulic conductivity in the laboratory and field (2012, background): “The hydraulic conductivity of the xylem is highly variable across species (e.g. Brodribb & Feild 2000; Nardini & Salleo 2000; Maherali, Pockman & Jackson 2004) and, for a given species, among growth environments (e.g. Schultz & Matthews 1993; Barigah et al. 2006; Choat, Sack & Holbrook 2007;…”
Hydraulic properties and photosynthetic rates in co-occurring lianas and trees in a seasonal tropical rainforest in southwestern China (2009, methodology): “Maximum vessel lengths for each species were measured preliminarily by using the method described by Brodribb and Feild (2000).”
Relations between stomatal closure, leaf turgor and xylem vulnerability in eight tropical dry forest trees (2003, background): “This has serious implications for photosynthesis and growth, which are limited by the efficiency of water supply from the soil to the leaves through the xylem (Kramer & Boyer 1995; Brodribb & Feild 2000; Hubbard et al . 2001).”
Changes in leaf hydraulic conductance during leaf shedding in seasonally dry tropical forest (2003, methodology): “It has been demonstrated that the hydraulic capacity of the plant vascular system is a primary determinant of the photosynthetic properties of leaves (Hubbard et al ., 1999; Brodribb & Field, 2000; Hubbard et al ., 2001); however, there is little information on the integrity of this correlation du”
Dark and disturbed: a new image of early angiosperm ecology (2004, background): “…(maximum photosynthetic electron transport rate and light-saturation point) was typical of shade-adapted tropical understory plants (Table 1, Appendix 3) (Bilger et al. 1995; Chazdon et al. 1996; Brodribb and Hill 1997; Brodribb and Feild 2000; Brodribb et al. 2002; Franco and Lüttge 2002).”
Morphological traits and water use strategies in seedlings of Mediterranean coexisting species (2010, positive): “…for water transport from soil to leaves is highly dependent on root architecture (Addington et al. 2006; Chirino et al. 2008), which is important in both determining how plants respond to water availability and in setting maximum rates of gas exchange (Brodribb and Feild 2000; Hubbard et al. 2001).”
Leaf phenology is associated with soil water availability and xylem traits in a tropical dry forest (2012, background): “…be associated with lower leaf hydraulic conductivities and lower photosynthetic rates, allowing a slower growth rate that is sustained through the year and that might be associated with increased foliar longevity (Farmer 1918; Brodribb and Field 2000; Miyazawa and Kikuzawa 2005; Fan et al. 2012).”
