Branch junction constriction and hydraulic limitation in two species in the Cape Proteaceae : a mechanism explaining the trade-off between longevity and degree of ramification in the Cape Proteaceae

The purpose of this study was to establish if hydraulic limitation and branch junction constriction explain the trade-off between longevity and increased ramification in species of the Cape Proteaceae. This was done by establishing if branch nodes are regions of greater resistance to xylem sap flow...
