Hydraulic limits to tree height and tree growth

Hydraulic limits to tree height and tree growth

Genetic changes in meristem tissue, nutrient limitation, respiration and hydraulic limitation are offered as explanations for the stoppage in tree growth with age. New approaches and resources are emerging that will enable ecologists and plant physiologists to assess the physiology of old trees.
