Scientists thought the world's tallest trees would be the first to die in drought; New study reveals astonishing survival secret hidden inside their trunks
A new study has revealed that giant dipterocarp trees have evolved highly efficient water transport systems that help them move water through their towering trunks. Researchers found that these specialised hydraulic adaptations enable the trees to cope with the challenges of extreme height. The study also showed that taller trees did not experience greater growth declines during a recent drought than shorter ones.
