Interdependence of chronic hydraulic dysfunction and canopy processes can improve integrated models of tree response to drought (2015, background): “Alternatively, anisohydric plants continue to acquire carbon during drought, but may be at risk of hydraulic failure if their stomata remain open too long under low WS conditions [Brodribb and Cochard, 2009; McDowell et al., 2008].”
Xylem embolism refilling and resilience against drought-induced mortality in woody plants: processes and trade-offs (2018, background): “Some researchers have also suggested that methodological uncertainties call for a thorough re-evaluation of current evidence for embolism reversal (Cochard and Delzon 2013; Torres- Ruiz et al. 2015; Charrier et al. 2016).”
Dynamics of non-structural carbohydrates in terrestrial plants: a global synthesis (2016, background): “However, xylem refilling remains a highly controversial issue (Cochard and Delzon 2013) and further research is needed to elucidate the link (if any) between low NSC and wide hydraulic safety margins in conifer xylem.”
Understanding the roles of nonstructural carbohydrates in forest trees - from what we can measure to what we want to know. (2016, background): “Although some suggest that the frequency of xylem refilling in trees may be greatly overestimated (Cochard & Delzon, 2013; Delzon & Cochard, 2014), others proclaim xylem embolism repair to be a common phenomenon in trees (e.g. Trifil o et al., 2015).”
