The impact of subcanopy light environment on the hydraulic vulnerability of Rhododendron maximum to freeze‐thaw cycles and drought

ABSTRACT The vulnerability of xylem to embolism development in Rhododendron maximum L., an evergreen diffuse‐porous shrub, was investigated in relation to the frequency of winter freeze–thaw cycles in high and low light sites of the Eastern US. Though the frequency of freeze–thaw cycles during the w...
