The effect of soil potassium and carbohydrates on xylem conductivity and embolism in an evergreen angiosperm tree and a gymnosperm tree before and after drought
Y. Wagner, V. Brumfeld, J. Gruenzweig, t. klein
This study examines how potassium and carbohydrates affect xylem conductivity and embolism in two tree species before and after drought, finding that potassium improves conductivity more in lemon trees than pine, but this benefit disappears during drought.
