Scientists studied how plants in the Amazonian savannas survive in dry conditions. They found that different plants have unique ways of persisting in this challenging environment, like having thick leaves or special...
The structural properties of leaf venation and xylem anatomy strongly influence leaf hydraulics, including the ability of leaves to maintain hydraulic function during drought. Blackman and colleagues examined the...
Hydraulic traits influence the ability of plant species to grow and survive in water-limited environments. Bourne et al. compare hydraulic, anatomical, stomatal and leaf tissue water relations traits in six Eucalyptus...
