The vulnerability and movement behaviour of slow moving slides are investigated. The study focuses on slides moving at rates ranging from a few millimetres a year like extremely slow slides, to 13 meters per month, the upper velocity range of slow slides. An extensive review of the effect of pore...

Abstract. Drought stress can cause xylem embolism in trees when the water potential (W)in the xylem falls below specific vulnerability thresholds. At the alpine timberline, frostdrought is known to cause excessive winter embolism unless xylem vulnerability ortranspiration is sufficiently reduced to...
