Nobody’s perfect: Can irregularities in pit structure influence vulnerability to cavitation?
Download2013
Hacke, Uwe G., Plavcová, Lenka, Klepsch, Matthias M., Jansen, Steven
Recent studies have suggested that species-specific pit properties such as pit membrane thickness, pit membrane porosity, torus-to-aperture diameter ratio and pit chamber depth influence xylem vulnerability to cavitation. Despite the indisputable importance of using mean pit characteristics,...
