Abstract Plant hydraulic conductivity and its decline under water stress are the focal point of current plant research. The common methods measuring control a pressure gradient to push through samples, submitting them conditions far away from those that experienced in nature where flow is suction driven determined by leaf demand. In this paper, we present two for closer natural conditions, an artificial setup horizontal syringe pump setup. Both approaches use pull sample while dynamically...
<p>Good scientific practice requires good documentation and traceability of every research step in order to ensure reproducibility repeatability our research. However, with increasing data availability ability record big data, experiments analysis become more complex. This complexity often many pre- post-processing steps that all need be documented for final results. poses very different challenges numerical experiments, laboratory work field-data analysis. The platform Renku...
<p>Commonly, xylem hydraulic conductance is measured by applying a positive pressure (above atmospheric) to push water through twig. To imitate flow in twig samples under natural conditions, we developed method that applies controlled rate using suction, similar transpiration-driven plants.</p><p>The setup consists of syringe pump control flow, where inserted the path and conductivity calculated from measurements sensors meter. The can be used...
<p>Trees invest carbon in stem growth every year, and allocate the to build xylem vessels, varying length diameter, which serve as a path for transport of water nutrients from soil leaves.</p> <p>To assess cost benefits investment into resulting hydraulic conductivity, we used combination two methods. The first was novel method measuring conductivity under suction using syringe pump. second dye cryo-microscopy determine ratio dimensions conducting...
<p>Usually hydraulic conductance and vulnerability are measured under extreme conditions never experienced by living plants (e. g. centrifugation, bench dehydration, large pressure gradients). A common factor that is known to inhibit the water transport in cavitation, which believed occur either air entry through pit valves on walls of xylem, or ex-solution dissolved gases, vaporization at very low pressures. Various physical characteristics xylem influence efficiency...
<p>Vegetation responds to environmental change in many ways and at various time scales. For example, increasing atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> concentrations can reduce stomatal conductance and, hence, transpiration an hourly scale, whereas adjustments leaf area, photosynthetic capacity root distributions follow the daily seasonal scale. Evidence for growth plasticity adaptation soil moisture conditions be found field experimental data. However, scales...
<p>The goals of open science include easy reproducibility research results, transparency methods and re-usability artefacts, e.g. data, code, graphics. Consequently, is expected to foster scientific collaboration sustainability research, as it enables building on each others' results for many years decades come.</p><p>Here we report about our collective attempts in the last 4-10 taking extreme by using exclusively formats, open-source software,...
