1 Ehleringer, James R.; Bush, Sarah Elizabeth; Solomon, Douglas KipEcohydrology in a Colorado River riparian forest: implications for the decline of Populus fremontiiPopulus fremontii (Fremont cottonwood) was once a dominant species in desert riparian forests but has been increasingly replaced by the exotic invasive Tamarix ramosissima (saltcedar). Interspecific competition, reduced flooding frequency, and increased salinity have been implicated in the widespre...Populus fremontii; Decline; Colorado River; Utah; Invasive species; Riparian; Salinity; Sap flow; Tamarix ramosissima; Transpiration2005
2 Linton, Matthew J.Hydraulic conductivity, xylem cavitation, and water potential for succulent leaves of agave deserti and agave tequilanaAxial hydraulic conductivity (Kh) was measured for fresh, dehydrated, and rehydrated leaves of the Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) leaf succulents, Agave deserti and Agave tequilana. Dehydration of leaves at 35(o)C for several hours caused Kh to decrease, with a 50% decrease occurring at a leaf w...Transpiration; Dehydrated; Drought2001
3 Linton, Matthew J.Magnitude and mechanisms of disequilibrium between predawn plant and soil water potentialsPredawn plant water potential (Uw, measured with leaf psychrometers) and surrogate measurements made with the pressure chamber (termed Upc here) are used to infer comparative ecological performance, based on the expectation that these plant potentials reflect the wettest soil Uw accessed by roots. T...Roots; Transpiration; Solutes2003
