Susceptibility to olive quick decline syndrome is linked to xylem anatomy
Can differences in xylem anatomy explain the contrasting responses of two olive cultivars to infection by the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa?

Remember the dry times: functional legacies of drought in trees
William Hammond, on an increasing threat to trees in the USA and elsewhere – drought and the embolisms it causes.
Climate affects hydraulic and stomatal traits
Cavitation of intercellular spaces is critical to the establishment of hydraulic properties of compression wood
Freezing-related CO2 bursts reduce winter embolism
Results indicate that not all gases dissolved in the xylem sap are trapped within the ice in the stem of Scots pine and Norway spruce, during freezing.
