Vulnerability to cavitation, hydraulic efficiency, growth and survival in an insular pine (Pinus canariensis)
[Background and Aims] It is widely accepted that hydraulic failure due to xylem embolism is a key factor contributing to drought-induced mortality in trees. In the present study, an attempt is made to disentangle phenotypic plasticity from genetic variation in hydraulic traits across the entire distribution area of a tree species to detect adaptation to local environments.
