Journal ArticleDOI
The roles of hydraulic and carbon stress in a widespread climate-induced forest die-off
William R. L. Anderegg,Joseph A. Berry,Duncan D. Smith,John S. Sperry,Leander D. L. Anderegg,Christopher B. Field +5 more
TL;DR: A direct and in situ study of the mechanisms underlying recent widespread and climate-induced trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides) forest mortality in western North America and finds substantial evidence of hydraulic failure of roots and branches linked to landscape patterns of canopy and root mortality in this species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Random planar graphs and the London street network
TL;DR: The streets of London form a self-organising system whose growth is characterised by a strict interaction between the metrical and informational space and a principle of least effort appears to create a balance between the physical and the mental effort required to navigate the city.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydraulic trade-offs and space filling enable better predictions of vascular structure and function in plants
Van M. Savage,Van M. Savage,Lisa Patrick Bentley,Brian J. Enquist,Brian J. Enquist,John S. Sperry,Duncan D. Smith,Peter B. Reich,E. I. von Allmen +8 more
TL;DR: A theory for plant network scaling that is based on optimal space filling by the vascular system along with trade-offs between hydraulic safety and efficiency is developed, suggesting that the evolutionary drivers that are proposed have been fundamental in determining how physiological processes scale within and across plant species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping 'hydroscapes' along the iso- to anisohydric continuum of stomatal regulation of plant water status
Frederick C. Meinzer,David R. Woodruff,Danielle E. Marias,Duncan D. Smith,Katherine A. McCulloh,Ava R. Howard,Alicia L. Magedman +6 more
TL;DR: Two metrics of stringency of stomatal regulation of ψ during soil drying in eight woody species were evaluated and were strongly correlated with each other and with the leaf osmotic potential at full and zero turgor derived from pressure-volume curves.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rare pits, large vessels and extreme vulnerability to cavitation in a ring‐porous tree species
TL;DR: The results confirm the rare pit prediction that a significant fraction of large vessels in Q. gambelii experience high probability of failure by air-seeding.
