Embolism resistance drives the distribution of Amazonian rainforest tree species along hydro-topographic gradients

• Species distribution is strongly driven by local and global gradients in water availability but the underlying mechanisms are not clear. Vulnerability to xylem embolism (P50) is a key trait that indicates how species cope with drought and might explain plant distribution patterns across environmen...
