abstract:
Water balance variations affected wood anatomy and isotopic composition. Anatomical analyses detected structural and functional adjustments in rainfed trees that produced more vessels with lower diameter to prevent cavitation. Isotopic analyses confirmed that irrigated trees continuously showed enhanced transpiration rates.
