The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Branch xylem density variations across the Amazon Basin (2009, background): “…and safety (Hacke et al., 2001; Tyree and Zimmermann, 2002; Jacobsen et al., 2005; Holbrook and Zwieniecki, 2005; Pittermann et al., 2006), rates of carbon exchange (Tyree, 2003; Jacobsen et al., 2005; Ishida et al., 2008) and perhaps resistance to pathogens and herbivores (Rowe and Speck, 2005).”
Photosynthetic pathway alters xylem structure and hydraulic function in herbaceous plants (2003, background): “The optimal solution is predicted to occur when the xylem structure in a plant provides just enough flow capacity to meet the highest transpiration rate a leaf canopy normally exhibits during a growing season (Tyree & Sperry 1989; Tyree 2003).”
