Journal ArticleDOI
Leaf structural diversity is related to hydraulic capacity in tropical rain forest trees
TL;DR: Variation in both R2-linked and R1-independent traits related strongly to regeneration irradiance, indicating the potential importance of both types of traits in establishment ecology.
Journal ArticleDOI
The correlations and sequence of plant stomatal, hydraulic, and wilting responses to drought
TL;DR: The correlations among the drought tolerance traits across species provide a framework for predicting plant responses to a wide range of water stress from one or two sampled traits, increasing the ability to rapidly characterize drought tolerance across diverse species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Which is a better predictor of plant traits: temperature or precipitation?

TL;DR: This work quantified the strength of the relationships between temperature and precipitation and 21 plant traits from 447,961 species-site combinations worldwide and used meta-analysis to provide an overall answer to the question.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological differentiation in xylem cavitation resistance is associated with stem and leaf structural traits
TL;DR: Vulnerability to cavitation was related to structural traits conferring tissue stress vulnerability, being negatively correlated with wood density, and surprisingly maximum vessel length, and positively with leaf size, and was not related to SLA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decline of Leaf Hydraulic Conductance with Dehydration: Relationship to Leaf Size and Venation Architecture
TL;DR: Hydraulic vulnerability was lower with greater major vein density and smaller leaf size, pointing to a new functional role of venation architecture and small leaf size in drought tolerance, potentially contributing to well-known biogeographic trends in leaf size.
