Abstract: The significance of phenological characteristics, stomatal conductance of the leaves, and stem water storage fluctuations for the regulation of xylem sap flow in an evergreen (Carapa guianensis Aubl.), in a semideciduous (Swietenia macrophylla King), and in a deciduous (Cedrela odorata L.) Meliaceae species was studied in a 7-year-old plantation near Manaus, Brazil. The study responds to the increasing demand for knowledge on the water relations of highly exploited timber trees of the Amazon. Xylem sap flow me… Show more

“…Transpiration of C. glauca tracked with seasonal course of solar radiation, suggesting that energy was also a determinant of transpiration in a long-term course. Comparing to some other related studies, the transpiration of C. glauca was higher than that of Quercus rotundifolia under a Mediterranean climate (with hot and dry summers) (David et al 2004), and that of Meliaceae species under rainforest climate in the Amazon (Du¨nisch and Morais 2002), and was similar to that of Quercus petraea (Matt.) Lieb and a little lower than that of Fagus sylvatica L during the dry season (Aranda et al 2005), indicating that in the karst area, where this study was conducted, the presence of underground water meant that water was not a severe restriction for C. glauca.…”

“…For quantifying the relationship between the active fluidtransporting surface area of common southwestern conifer and deciduous tree species against easily measured stand variables such as DBH, H or CD in high-elevation, snowdependent, semiarid ecosystems of the Southwest United States, we analyzed conifer and deciduous species separately because of their major differences in biomass, growth strategy, water transport pattern and abiotic stress responses (Dunisch and Morais 2002;Bovard et al 2005;Mitra and Papuga 2012). They also have very different wood anatomy and, therefore, different specific conductivity.…”

“…The difference in post‐drought recovery performance between deciduous and evergreen angiosperms is likely due to their different xylem anatomical structure. Deciduous species may contain higher numbers of axial parenchyma cells in their sapwood compared to evergreens (Dünisch and Morais , Choat et al ). Parenchyma cells are involved in water and carbon storage in plants (Tyree and Ewers ), and facilitate xylem embolism repair in deciduous species through the active transport of sugars into neighboring empty xylem conduits, resulting in osmotic shifts that promote water movement into those conduits (Dünisch and Morais , Johnson et al , Brodersen and McElrone ).…”
