• A synthesis of tree functional traits related to drought-induced mortality in forests across climatic zones (2017, background): “Therefore, properties such as wood density and conduit architecture, although untested in this climatic zone, will likely correlate with drought-induced mortality (Hacke et al. 2001).”
• How tree roots respond to drought (2015, background): “At the level of individual conduits, there is a tight proportionality between conduit wall reinforcement and cavitation resistance (Hacke et al., 2001).”
• Interspecific integration of trait dimensions at local scales: the plant phenotype as an integrated network (2017, background): “…to clarify the interplay among sap transport efficiency, safety and mechanical support (e.g. Davis, Sperry & Hacke 1999; Hacke & Sperry 2001; Hacke et al. 2001; Pratt et al. 2007), but the set of traits involved in the WS and the contingencies defining their relationships remain uncertain…”
• Root traits are related to plant water-use among rangeland Mediterranean species (2017, background): “Their tolerance capacity may be due to high RTD, which allowed roots to withstand dry conditions with limited damage (Hacke et al. 2001; Weemstra et al. 2016).”
• Drought tolerance as predicted by leaf water potential at turgor loss point varies strongly across species within an Amazonian forest (2015, neutral): “…in our sampling, to ensure that at least two individuals per species were collected per plot, and to maximize species-level variation in wood density, which has often been associated with drought tolerance (Hacke et al. 2001; Santiago et al. 2004; Chave et al. 2009; Markesteijn et al. 2011a,b).”
• Xylem embolism refilling and resilience against drought-induced mortality in woody plants: processes and trade-offs (2018, background): “…et al. (2013), Laur and Hacke (2014) and Mayr et al. (2014); (6) Sperry and Love (2015); (7) Brodersen and McElrone (2013); (8) Anderegg (2015) and Hacke et al. (2001) (Colour figure online) it is not clear to what extent microCT techniques can be considered as reliable instruments to detect…”
• Mixture reduces climate sensitivity of Douglas-fir stem growth (2016, background): “We suggest that the older trees with smaller DBH had higher wood density and form stronger hydraulic pathways bearing better resistance against hydraulic pressure under drought (Hacke et al., 2001).”
• Functional and Ecological Xylem Anatomy (2015, methodology): “From Hacke et al. (2001b).”
• Life in the treetops: ecophysiological strategies of canopy epiphytes in a tropical montane cloud forest (2015, background): “In dense wood, there are more xylem conduits of smaller diameter than in less dense wood and these smaller conduits are more resistant to cavitation (Hacke et al. 2001, Jacobsen et al. 2007, Willson et al. 2008).”
