Vertical Stratification Drives Divergent Spatial Trade‐Offs Among Xylem Cell Types in Angiosperm Trees of a Mountain Forest in Eastern China

Ecology and Evolution
Vertical stratification in forests acts as an ecological filter, driving woody plants to evolve specialized survival strategies. Angiosperms, in particular, develop secondary xylem with three interdependent functions—water transport, mechanical support ...
