Experimental evidence for heat plume‐induced cavitation and xylem deformation as a mechanism of rapid post‐fire tree mortality

Recent work suggests that hydraulic mechanisms, rather than cambium necrosis, may account for rapid post‐fire tree mortality. We experimentally tested for xylem cavitation, as a result of exposure to high‐vapour‐deficit (D) heat plumes, and permanent xylem deformation, as a result of thermal softeni...
