Towards turgor-driven growth in FSPs
In many scenarios, water availability plays a determinant role in plant growth. Current functional-structural plant models (FSPs) mainly focus on plant-carbon relations and largely disregard the importance of plant...

Not all sapwood is functionally equal: Improving estimates of whole-tree water use from sap flux measurements
We often use sap flux, or water transported by the xylem to estimate whole-tree water use, an important component of understanding ecosystem water use. However, not all sapwood is functionally equal and axial sap flux...
