Cohesion-tension xylem water transport

Layer 3 — Biologyin the Plant Biology subtree

Dixon-Joly 1894: water column in xylem held under tension by H-bond cohesion; transpiration pulls from leaf, root pressure pushes from below. Modelled by Darcy-Richards PDE with embolism-dependent conductivity κ(Ψ); cavitation events…
