This paper investigates how different methods for measuring stem embolism vulnerability affect results, finding that nano-particles may induce early cavitation and that the origin of these particles might be from living cells near vessels.

The paper derives an analytical solution for root pressure and applies it to a 7-meter bamboo shoot's hydraulic architecture.

The paper develops a Unit Pipe Pneumatic model to simulate gas diffusion kinetics in xylem embolism measurements and finds it overestimates embolism resistance by 2-17%.
