Fall 2012
Variation in xylem structure and function has been extensively studied across different species with a wide taxonomic, geographical and ecological coverage. In contrast, our understanding of how xylem of a single species can adjust to different growing conditions remains limited. In this thesis,...

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,...
