Xylem Adjustment in Erica Arborea to Temperature and Moisture Availability in Contrasting Climates

Plasticity of xylem architecture can be a species specific strategy to reduce vulnerability to climate change. To study how the evergreen shrub Erica arborea regulates its xylem at different time scales as a response to climatic variability, we compared time series of annual xylem traits such as rin...
