Resource pulses, species interactions, and diversity maintenance in arid and semi-arid environments (2004, background): “Moreover, seasonal variation in use of water (Gebauer and Ehleringer 2000; Sperry and Hacke 2002) and nitrogen pulses (Bilbrough and Caldwell 1997) have been observed.”
LIFE HISTORY TYPE AND WATER STRESS TOLERANCE IN NINE CALIFORNIA CHAPARRAL SPECIES (RHAMNACEAE) (2007, background): “Having roots more resistant to cavitation especially benefits more shallowly rooted species by enabling them to maintain hydraulic function at lower Wx and thus extract more water from drying soil (Sperry and Hacke 2002).”
Plant rooting strategies in water‐limited ecosystems (2007, background): “This is consistent with observations that cavitation resistance is negatively correlated with rooting depth [Sperry and Hacke, 2002], a strategy suiting both intensive and extensive soil moisture use [Rodriguez-Iturbe et al.”
Xylem density, biomechanics and anatomical traits correlate with water stress in 17 evergreen shrub species of the Mediterranean‐type climate region of South Africa (2007, background): “Minimum seasonal pressure potential ( P min ) is a measure of the maximum water stress that a plant experiences in the field and is often correlated with plant water stress tolerance (Hacke et al. 2000; Sperry & Hacke 2002; Jacobsen et al . 2005; Jacobsen et al . 2006).”
Drought-Induced Multifactor Decline of Scots Pine in the Pyrenees and Potential Vegetation Change by the Expansion of Co-occurring Oak Species (2010, background): “Other studies have associated fine-textured soils with milder effects of drought on plants (Hacke and others 2000; Sperry and Hacke 2002; Hultine and others 2005).”
Patterns and consequences of differential vascular sectoriality in 18 temperate tree and shrub species (2006, background): “For instance, does the co-ordination of vessel size and sectoriality hold when freezing is not a limiting environmental factor (lowland tropical forests), or in drought-dominated communities where leaf phenology is important to drought avoidance (e.g. the Great Basin; Sperry & Hacke 2002)?”
Linkage between water stress tolerance and life history type in seedlings of nine chaparral species (Rhamnaceae) (2008, background): “At the adult stage of development high cavitation resistance is linked to shallow rooting depth (Sperry & Hacke 2002; Lopez et al. 2005; Pratt et al. 2007b) and development of low minimum ψw (Pratt et al. 2007a; Jacobsen et al. 2007b).”
