Hydraulic Limits to Tree Height and Tree Growth
BioScience · 1997 · Vol. 47(4) · pp. 235–242
Abstract
Examines what determines the height to which a tree will grow in a particular region and climate. The relationship between maximum tree height and the speed at which the tree grew when young; Mechanisms for growth including the respiration hypothesis, the nutrient limitation hypothesis, the maturation hypothesis and the hydraulic limitation hypothesis; Details about each hypothesis; Evidence for hydraulic limitation; Conclusions.
