Xylem Embolism and Pathogens: Can the Vessel Anatomy of Woody Plants Contribute to <i>X. fastidiosa</i> Resistance? by Giambattista Carluccio, Davide Greco, Erika Sabella, Marzia Vergine, Luigi De Bellis, Andrea Luvisi

“…The maintenance of an intact water column in the xylem lumen several meters above the ground is essential for woody plant viability. In fact, abiotic and biotic factors can lead to the formation of emboli in the xylem, interrupting sap flow and causing consequences on the health status of the plant. …”

Integrating herbivore assemblages and woody plant cover in an African savanna to reveal how herbivores respond to ecosystem management. by Melissa H Schmitt, Keenan Stears, Mary K Donovan, Deron E Burkepile, Dave I Thompson

“…We address this knowledge gap by applying a model-based clustering approach to field observations from MalaMala Game Reserve, South Africa to identify multiple herbivore-vegetation 'configurations,' defined as unique sets of herbivore assemblages (i.e., groups of herbivores) associated with differing woody plant covers. Our approach delineated how tree-clearing influences the distribution and abundance of the herbivore community in relation to surrounding savanna areas, which represent a natural mosaic of varying woody cover. …”

Ecohydrological connectivity: A unifying framework for understanding how woody plant encroachment alters the water cycle in drylands by Bradford P. Wilcox, Shishir Basant, Horia Olariu, Pedro A. M. Leite

“…In this paper, using examples from six case studies across drylands in the Great Plains and Chihuahuan Desert regions of the United States, we explore the ecohydrological changes that occurred following woody plant encroachment (WPE). In all cases, the increase in woody plant cover brought about modifications in connectivity, which led to profound ecohydrological changes at both the patch and landscape scales. …”
