I just returned home from a wonderful few weeks spent in New Zealand, where I attended the International Sap Flow Workshop, and Tasmania, where I deployed sap flow sensors with Tim Brodribb and Ibrahim Bourbia.

It makes for a fascinating read and should go some way to stimulate discussion in plant hydraulics. Well done @jvwilkening and all the co-authors for making it happen and bringing it to fruition.

New paper on plant form and function out in @PlantCellEnvir: https://t.co/PGX0Qkr6Fq.
@jvwilkening et al. developed a neat model to examine how patterns of variation in vulnerability segmentation, hydraulic segmentation and the interaction between them influences plant function.

Using a hydraulic model, we examine how vulnerability segmentation interacts with other traits to impact plant conductance loss. We show that vulnerability segmentation impacts depend on other...

Fun to share our new paper out in @PlantCellEnvir today where myself, @skelrob, Xue Feng, Todd Dawson, and @DrSallyET used plant hydraulic modeling to test some hypotheses regarding vulnerability segmentation and its role in plant drought response https://t.co/VRacFS0t08 (π§΅π)
