Abstract
⺠The hydraulic pathway of plants is vulnerable to develop air bubbles. ⺠Air bubble formation in plants is caused by drought or freeze-thaw events. ⺠Various mechanical xylem properties are correlated with drought-induced embolisms. ⺠Angiosperms have a greater ability to repair stem embolisms than gymnosperms. ⺠Secondarily woody shrubs are more embolism resistant than herbaceous relatives.
