Interactive effects of nocturnal transpiration and climate change on the root hydraulic redistribution and carbon and water budgets of southern United States pine plantationsJean Christophe Domec
University of Bordeaux, Bordeaux Sciences Agro, UMR 1220 TCEM ENITA INRA, 1 Cours de général de Gaulle, 33175 Gradignan Cedex, France
Tree Physiol 32:707-23. 2012
..Our simulations highlight the interactive effects of nutrients and elevated CO(2), and showed that the effect of N fertilization would be greater under future climate conditions...
Maximum height in a conifer is associated with conflicting requirements for xylem designJean Christophe Domec
Department of Forestry and Environmental Resources, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27795, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 105:12069-74. 2008
..Our results suggest that the maximum height of Douglas-fir trees may be limited in part by the conflicting requirements for water transport and water column safety...
Bole girdling affects metabolic properties and root, trunk and branch hydraulics of young ponderosa pine treesJean Christophe Domec
Department of Forestry and Environmental Resources, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27795, USA
Tree Physiol 28:1493-504. 2008
..Two years after girdling, when root-to-shoot phloem continuity had been restored, girdled trees had a reduced density of new wood, which increased xylem conductivity and whole-tree LSC, but also vulnerability to embolism...
Decoupling the influence of leaf and root hydraulic conductances on stomatal conductance and its sensitivity to vapour pressure deficit as soil dries in a drained loblolly pine plantationJean Christophe Domec
Department of Forestry and Environmental Resources, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695, USA
Plant Cell Environ 32:980-91. 2009
..We conclude that not only water stress but also leaf phenology affects the coordination between K(tree) and g(s) and the acclimation of trees to changing environmental conditions...
Hydraulic redistribution of soil water by roots affects whole-stand evapotranspiration and net ecosystem carbon exchangeJean Christophe Domec
Department of Forestry and Environmental Resources, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695, USA
New Phytol 187:171-83. 2010
..Hydraulic redistribution mitigated the effects of soil drying on understory and stand evapotranspiration and had important implications for net primary productivity by maintaining this whole ecosystem as a carbon sink...
Leaf-level gas-exchange uniformity and photosynthetic capacity among loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) genotypes of contrasting inherent genetic variationMichael J Aspinwall

Hydraulic architecture of two species differing in wood density: opposing strategies in co-occurring tropical pioneer treesKatherine A McCulloh
Department of Forest Ecosystems and Society, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331, USA
Plant Cell Environ 35:116-25. 2012
..This work demonstrates the importance of examining a range of hydraulic traits throughout the plant and highlights the spectrum of possible strategies for coping with daily and seasonal water stress cycles...
Hydraulic redistribution in a Douglas-fir forest: lessons from system manipulationsJ Renee Brooks
Western Ecology Division, US EPA NHEERL, 200 SW 35th St, Corvallis OR 97333, USA
Plant Cell Environ 29:138-50. 2006
..These results indicate that the seasonal timing and magnitude of HR was strongly governed by the development of water potential differences within the soil, and the competing demand for water by the above ground portion of the tree...
