Xylem conduit morphology is shaped by the challenges of minimizing hydraulic resistance and preventing conduit wall collapse during vertical sap transport. While hydraulic theories predict that conduits widen from tip to base to minimize resistance, theory has not addressed how collapse prevention influences vertical variation in conduit morphology...
Describing Scaling Relationships
Scaling relationships are a central feature of global ecology, quantifying general biological patterns across broad spatial and temporal scales. Traditionally characterised as scale‐invariant power laws, the scope of biological scaling has expanded in recent decades to include log–log curvilinearity and exponential...
There is persistent uncertainty about how integrated plant functions, like growth, are mechanistically constrained and practically predicted by functional traits. For trees, these knowledge gaps persist for two reasons: First, studies of ‘natural’ forests are observational, with highly variable and confounding resource limitation and competition; s...
