Root architecture and hydraulics converge for acclimation to changing water availability
Because of intense transpiration and growth, the needs of plants for water can be immense. Yet water in the soil is most often heterogeneous if not scarce due to more and more frequent and intense drought episodes.

Plants are expected to face increasing water stress under future climate change. Most land surface models, including Noah‐MP, employ an idealized “big‐leaf” concept to regulate water and carbon fluxes in response to soil moisture stress through empirical

Summary Land surface models (LSMs) typically use empirical functions to represent vegetation responses to soil drought. These functions largely neglect recent advances in plant ecophysiology that link xylem hydraulic functioning with stomatal responses ...

Leaf economics and plant hydraulics drive leaf : wood area ratios
Biomass and area ratios between leaves, stems and roots regulate many physiological and ecological processes. The Huber value Hv (sapwood area/leaf area ratio) is central to plant water balance and drought responses.

Compared to conventional central hydraulic systems still typically used in most off-road machinery, the main advantages of zonal hydraulics are lower pressure losses, lower power demand, and thus, lower energy consumption on a system level and easy ...
