Featured Article in Plant, Cell and Environment

Our article “Stem and leaf hydraulic properties are finely coordinated in three tropical rainforest tree species” was featured on the December 2015 cover of Plant, Cell and Environment.

The article (introduced here) investigates the internal coordination of hydraulic parameters in a tropical lowland rainforest. Most of our sampling for this study was done directly from the rainforest canopy using the Daintree Rainforest Observatory‘s canopy crane, which is pictured on the journal cover.
