Root structure-function relationships in 74 species: evidence of a root economics spectrum related to carbon economy.
TLDR
The findings of this study support the existence of a RES representing an axis of trait variation in which root respiration was positively correlated to nitrogen concentration and specific root length and negatively correlated to the root dry matter content, lignin : nitrogen ratio and the remaining mass after decomposition.

Rapid determination of comparative drought tolerance traits: using an osmometer to predict turgor loss point
1. Across plant species, drought tolerance and distributions with respect to water availability are strongly correlated with two physiological traits, the leaf water potential at wilting, that is,…

Weak tradeoff between xylem safety and xylem-specific hydraulic efficiency across the world's woody plant species.
TLDR
There appears to be no persuasive explanation for the considerable number of species with both low efficiency and low safety in branch xylem, and these species represent a real challenge for understanding the evolution ofxylem.

Stem and leaf hydraulics of congeneric tree species from adjacent tropical savanna and forest ecosystems
TLDR
The results of this study suggest that the relative success of savanna over forest species in savanna is related in part to their ability to cope with drought, which is determined more by leaf than by stem hydraulic traits.

Spatial and temporal temperature trends on the Yunnan Plateau (Southwest China) during 1961–2004
Monthly mean (TEM), maximum (Tmax) and minimum (Tmin) surface air temperatures at 119 meteorological stations on the Yunnan Plateau (YP, Southwest China) were analysed for temporal trends and spatial…

Stem hydraulic traits and leaf water-stress tolerance are co-ordinated with the leaf phenology of angiosperm trees in an Asian tropical dry karst forest.
TLDR
The results reveal the clear distinctions in stem hydraulic traits and leaf water-stress tolerance between the co-occurring evergreen and deciduous angiosperm trees in an Asian dry karst forest.

Hydraulic properties and photosynthetic rates in co-occurring lianas and trees in a seasonal tropical rainforest in southwestern China
TLDR
The results showed that the three liana species had larger vessel diameter, lower sapwood density, and consequently higher branch sapwood specific hydraulic conductivity than the three tree species, indicating a trade-off between hydraulic efficiency and safety.
