The trade-off between stem biomechanics and hydraulics in Bauhinia lianas and trees
Within the Bauhinia genus is there a trade off between stem strength and hydraulic efficiency?

Hydraulic adjustments are of limited use in bracken fern
Changes in leaf anatomy, more than hydraulics, allowed the ferns to thrive in a high light environment.

Biomechanics of rhizophores in Rhizophora mangroves
Rhizophora mangle supports a thinner stem of higher mechanical resistance when compared to Avicennia germinans, a co-existing mangrove lacking rhizophores.
Critical buckling height and stand variation in Pinus
Although elastic similarity models and determinations of critical buckling height often consider density-specific stiffness to be constant, few studies have tested this assumption in plantation-grown trees.
