The world‐wide ‘fast–slow’ plant economics spectrum: a traits manifesto (2014, background): “The difference between Ψmin and Ψ50 is a measure of the ‘safety margin’ for a plant in a given environment (Meinzer et al. 2009) and is thus another indicator of a plant’s hydraulic strategy.”
Causes and implications of the correlation between forest productivity and tree mortality rates (2011, background): “Trees across a broad range of environments exhibit a variety of mechanisms for avoiding or repairing conduit embolism under conditions typical of those environments (Hacke and Sperry 2001, Johnson et al. 2009, Meinzer et al. 2009).”
Species-specific water use by forest tree species: from the tree to the stand (2012, background): “…between the response of leaf stomatal conductance, and the functionality of the hydraulic pathway through water movements within the tree, has emerged in the last decades as one of the most important points in the understanding of water use by trees (Johnson et al., 2011; Meinzer et al., 2009).”
Interdependence of chronic hydraulic dysfunction and canopy processes can improve integrated models of tree response to drought (2015, background): “MODELING CHRONIC HYDRAULIC DYSFUNCTION AND CANOPY PROCESSES 6156 can initiate a feedback that increases the rate of embolism formation [Franks, 2004; Holtta et al., 2009; Meinzer et al., 2009; Tyree and Sperry, 1988].”
Modeling plant–water interactions: an ecohydrological overview from the cell to the global scale (2016, background): “, Ψxyl,12), typically correlated to Ψxyl,50.(178,179) The term Jxyl is called sap flow and can be measured directly in the plants with various methods.”
Xylem plasticity allows rapid hydraulic adjustment to annual climatic variability (2013, background): “…reduce hydraulic tension (Barnard et al. 2011), modify the crown or root morphology to regulate water demand and access (Meier and Leuschner 2008; Markesteijn and Poorter 2009; Klein et al. 2011), or increase water storage in the stem (Cermak et al. 2007; Meinzer et al. 2009; Martin et al. 2010).”
Life in the treetops: ecophysiological strategies of canopy epiphytes in a tropical montane cloud forest (2015, background): “A trade-off between capacitance and stem P50 has been recognized whereby xylem elements that have a greater degree of capacitance are more vulnerable to cavitation (Meinzer et al. 2009).”
Radial Variation in Wood Structure and Function in Woody Plants, and Hypotheses for Its Occurrence (2011, background): “For example, Meinzer et al. (2009) showed that species with low capacitance (water storage) and dense wood tend to have high daily maximum xylem tensions and structural adaptations that help them resist embolism at these tensions.”
