Diurnal and seasonal variation in root xylem embolism in neotropical savanna woody species: Impact on stomatal control of plant water status
Vulnerability to water-stress-induced embolism and variation in the degree of native embolism were measured in lateral roots of four co-occurring neotropical savanna tree species. Root embolism varied diurnally and seasonally. Late in the dry season, loss of root xylem conductivity reached 80% in th...
