Journal ArticleDOI
Leaf photosynthetic traits scale with hydraulic conductivity and wood density in Panamanian forest canopy trees
Louis S. Santiago,Louis S. Santiago,Guillermo Goldstein,Frederick C. Meinzer,Jack B. Fisher,K. Machado,David R. Woodruff,Tappey H. Jones +7 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that understanding tree hydraulic architecture provides added insights to comparisons of leaf level measurements among species, and links photosynthetic allocation patterns with branch hydraulic processes, which exhibit considerable co-ordination with allocation to potential carbon gain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tree Branch Angle: Maximizing Effective Leaf Area
Hisao Honda,Jack B. Fisher +1 more
TL;DR: In a computer simulation of branching pattern and leaf cluster in Terminalia catappa, right and left branch angles were varied, and the effective leaf surface areas were calculated.
Journal ArticleDOI
A survey of vessel dimensions in stems of tropical lianas and other growth forms
TL;DR: The few long and wide vessels of lianas are thought to hydraulically compensate for their narrow stem diameters, while the many narrow and short vessels, which are present in the same liana stems, may provide a high resistance auxiliary transport system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Techniques for measuring vessel lengths and diameters in stems of woody plants
TL;DR: In all six species where the paint and air methods for determining vessel length were compared, both methods showed a similar skewed vessel length distribution, with many short vessels and few long ones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence of Reaction Wood in Branches of Dicotyledons and Its Role in Tree Architecture
TL;DR: In this article, the lateral branch and young leader axes of 122 species of dicotyledonous trees in 46 families, displaying a variety of architectural models, were surveyed for presence of reaction wood as defined by gelatinous wood fibers (G-fibers).
