Soil hydraulics affect the degree of isohydricity

Plant Physiol. 2021 Jul 6;186(3):1378-1381. doi: 10.1093/plphys/kiab154.

Abstract

A soil–plant hydraulic model shows that the degree of isohydricity is constrained by below-ground hydraulic limitations and that the shape of plant water potential (WP) curve depends on soil hydraulics.
