This project investigates how trees adapt their water conductance in response to drought conditions, focusing on the impact of tree height. By measuring various functional traits, the research aims to understand the mechanisms behind these adaptations in tropical forests and globally.
Plants adjust leaf water potential and hydraulic conductance under drought through stomatal behaviour, reducing sap flow and protecting plants from extensive water loss and embolism.
Due to the negative effect that vapour pressure deficit (VPD) and tree height have on canopy-scale water conductance (G), Darcy’s law predicts a decline in G due to the expected increase in VPD following climate warming, to which tall trees would be presumably more sensitive.
Further work is thus needed to understan…
