Other claims from this paper (12)
- Association Native embolism in Erica arborea changed seasonally, segregated by the growth CO2 concentration.
- Association Native embolism in Myrtus communis changed seasonally, segregated by the growth CO2 concentration.
- Association Juniperus communis had constantly lower percentage embolism than the other two species.
- Association Summer embolism differences among the three species and between sites were in accordance with vulnerability curves.
- Association Mean specific hydraulic conductivity in Erica arborea was strongly affected by site.
- Association Mean specific hydraulic conductivity in Myrtus communis was strongly affected by site, in the opposite direction to Erica arborea.
- Association Hydraulic properties varied with shoot biomass and leaf area.
- Association Leaf area increased with sapwood area.
- Association Differences between sites were somewhat significant in Myrtus communis.
- Association Foliage biomass increased with stem biomass.
- Association Altering branch biomass allocation may or may not influence hydraulic adjustment, depending on the species.
- Mechanism Plant responses to increasing CO2 tend to compensate for the resource imbalance through changes in hydraulic properties and biomass allocation.
