Interspecific integration of trait dimensions at local scales: the plant phenotype as an integrated network (2017, background): “The hypothesis HWSNARROW holds that correlations only occur among the traits traditionally measured to reflect the WS as described in Chave et al. (2009) and Baas et al. (2004) (VD, KS, Stem WD, MOE, Table S3a).”
VESSEL REDUNDANCY: MODELING SAFETY IN NUMBERS (2007, background): “Wide and long vessels, with low redundancy, should be the most cost effective means of transporting water, were it not for the fact that wide vessels may weaken the wood to a point that stem breakage or vessel implosion should occur (Hacke et al. 2001; Baas et al. 2004; Jacobsen et al. 2005).”
Wood anatomy and hydraulic architecture of stems and twigs of some Mediterranean trees and shrubs along a mesic-xeric gradient (2008, background): “Several authors have presented general ecological and phylogenetic trends in wood anatomy and suggested possible evolutionary mechanisms responsible for these trends (Baily and Tupper 1918; Carlquist 1975, 1980; Baas 1976, 1982; Baas et al. 1983, 2004; Ewers and Fisher 1991).”
Morpho-Anatomical Traits for Plant Adaptation to Drought (2012, background): “…conductivity (efficiency) and vulnerability to cavitation (safety) of a given wood as well as the biomechanics of stems and branches (Zimmermann 1983; Carlquist 1975; Baas et al. 1983, 2004; Baas and Schweingruber 1987; Tyree and Sperry 1989; Niklas 1992; Tyree et al. 1994; Hacke and Sperry 2001).”
The intrinsic dimensionality of plant traits and its relevance to community assembly (2014, background): “Stem density (i.e. specific gravity) is an important property of plant stems that represents a trade-off between the efficiency of hydraulic conductivity and resistance to drought- or freezinginduced cavitation (Hacke et al. 2001; Baas et al. 2004).”
Hydraulic conductivity traits predict growth rates and adult stature of 40 Asian tropical tree species better than wood density (2012, background): “Wood density in vessel-bearing angiosperms is determined by properties of the vessels, the matrix of fibres and the parenchyma cells surrounding them (Baas et al. 2004).”
Interspecific Relationships among Growth, Mortality and Xylem Traits of Woody Species from New Zealand (2010, background): “Negative relationships between species’ xylem traits can arise when they are under opposing selection due to tradeoffs in function related to hydraulic conductance, cavitation-risk and mechanical constraints (Carlquist 1975; Baas et al. 2004; Sperry, Meinzer & McCulloh 2008; Chave et al. 2009).”
CAVITATION RESISTANCE AMONG 26 CHAPARRAL SPECIES OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (2007, background): “The risk of cavitation due to cell wall collapse may explain correlations between wood density, xylem mechanical strength, and vessel and fiber anatomical properties with cavitation resistance (Wagner et al. 1998, Hacke et al. 2001, Sperry 2003, Baas et al. 2004, Jacobsen et al. 2005).”
Patterns and consequences of differential vascular sectoriality in 18 temperate tree and shrub species (2006, background): “…be best related to porosity of the pit membrane (Hacke & Sperry 2001; Tyree & Zimmermann 2002), some evidence suggests a positive relationship between vessel diameter and propensity to embolize during drought (Hargrave et al. 1994; Tyree & Zimmermann 2002; Baas et al. 2004; Wheeler et al. 2005).”
