Xylem hydraulic adjustment and growth response of Quercus canariensis Willd. to climatic variability.
Global change challenges forest adaptability at the distributional limit of species. We studied ring-porous Quercus canariensis Willd. xylem traits to analyze how they adjust to spatio-temporal variability in climate. Trees were sampled along altitudinal transects, and annual time series of radial growth (ring width (RW)) and several earlywood vessel (EV) traits were built to analyze their rela...
متن کاملVulnerability to cavitation, hydraulic efficiency, growth and survival in an insular pine (Pinus canariensis).
BACKGROUND AND AIMS It is widely accepted that hydraulic failure due to xylem embolism is a key factor contributing to drought-induced mortality in trees. In the present study, an attempt is made to disentangle phenotypic plasticity from genetic variation in hydraulic traits across the entire distribution area of a tree species to detect adaptation to local environments. METHODS A series of t...
متن کاملtrends and variability of temperature during 1961-2010 over iran, after adjustment of non climatic inhomogeneities
the main purpose of this article is, showing similar fluctuation of temperature series and their consistency with what happened in the global level. in addition, it determines new estimates of regional seasonal and annual temperature trends over iran, after the detection of artificial and natural non homogenous points of 33 synoptic stations for the period of 1960 2010. the 22 stations with sho...
متن کاملSpatial and temporal variability in forest growth in the Olympic Mountains, Washington: sensitivity to climatic variability
We compared annual basal area increment (BAI) at different spatial scales among all size classes and species at diverse locations in the wet western and dry northeastern Olympic Mountains. Weak growth correlations at small spatial scales (average R = 0.084–0.406) suggest that trees are responding to local growth conditions. However, significant positive growth correlations between geographicall...
متن کاملInterpreting the Climatic Effects on Xylem Functional Traits in Two Mediterranean Oak Species: The Role of Extreme Climatic Events
In the Mediterranean region, the widely predicted rise in temperature, change in the precipitation pattern, and increase in the frequency of extreme climatic events are expected to alter the shape of ecological communities and to affect plant physiological processes that regulate ecosystem functioning. Although change in the mean values are important, there is increasing evidence that plant dis...
