Pit and tracheid anatomy explain hydraulic safety but not hydraulic efficiency of 28 conifer species

Conifers face increased drought mortality risks because of drought-induced embolism in their vascular system. Variation in embolism resistance may result from species differences in pit structure and function, as pits control the air seeding between water-transporting conduits. This study quantifies...
