USDA Forest Service, PNW Research Station, Corvallis, OR 97331, USA
New Phytol 173:753-65. 2007..While HR can vary tremendously within a site, among years and among ecosystems, this variability can be explained by natural variability in Psi gradients and seasonal courses of root conductivity...

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...
How do water transport and water storage differ in coniferous earlywood and latewood?Jean Christophe Domec
Department of Wood Science and Engineering, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331, USA
J Exp Bot 53:2369-79. 2002..1% RWC MPa(-1), latewood and earlywood, respectively). The shape of the vulnerability curve suggests that air seeding through latewood may occur directly through pores in the margo and seal off at lower pressure than earlywood pores...
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...
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...
