Towards a worldwide wood economics spectrum.
- J. Chave, D. Coomes, S. Jansen, S. Lewis, N. Swenson, A. Zanne
- Biology, Medicine
- Ecology letters
- 1 April 2009
Wood performs several essential functions in plants, including mechanically supporting aboveground tissue, storing water and other resources, and transporting sap. Woody tissues are likely to face… Expand
Global convergence in the vulnerability of forests to drought
Shifts in rainfall patterns and increasing temperatures associated with climate change are likely to cause widespread forest decline in regions where droughts are predicted to increase in duration… Expand

Testing hypotheses that link wood anatomy to cavitation resistance and hydraulic conductivity in the genus Acer.
- F. Lens, J. Sperry, Mairgareth A. Christman, B. Choat, D. Rabaey, S. Jansen
- Biology, Medicine
- The New phytologist
- 1 May 2011
• Vulnerability to cavitation and conductive efficiency depend on xylem anatomy. We tested a large range of structure-function hypotheses, some for the first time, within a single genus to minimize… Expand
Morphological variation of intervessel pit membranes and implications to xylem function in angiosperms.
- S. Jansen, B. Choat, A. Pletsers
- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of botany
- 1 February 2009
Pit membranes between xylem vessels have been suggested to have functional adaptive traits because of their influence on hydraulic resistance and vulnerability to embolism in plants. Observations of… Expand
Structure and function of bordered pits: new discoveries and impacts on whole-plant hydraulic function.
Bordered pits are cavities in the lignified cell walls of xylem conduits (vessels and tracheids) that are essential components in the water-transport system of higher plants. The pit membrane, which… Expand
Methods for measuring plant vulnerability to cavitation: a critical review.
- H. Cochard, É. Badel, S. Herbette, S. Delzon, B. Choat, S. Jansen
- Mathematics, Medicine
- Journal of experimental botany
- 1 November 2013
Xylem cavitation resistance has profound implications for plant physiology and ecology. This process is characterized by a 'vulnerability curve' (VC) showing the variation of the percentage of… Expand
Aluminum hyperaccumulation in angiosperms: A review of its phylogenetic significance
- S. Jansen, M. Broadley, E. Robbrecht, E. Smets
- Biology
- The Botanical Review
- 1 April 2002
Aluminum phytotoxicity and genetically based aluminum resistance has been studied intensively during recent decades because aluminum toxicity is often the primary factor limiting crop productivity on… Expand
Meta-analysis reveals that hydraulic traits explain cross-species patterns of drought-induced tree mortality across the globe
- W. Anderegg, T. Klein, +4 authors S. Jansen
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 18 April 2016
Significance Predicting the impacts of climate extremes on plant communities is a central challenge in ecology. Physiological traits may improve prediction of drought impacts on forests globally. We… Expand
