Abstract
Introduction
The goal of this research project was to determine the water transport behaviour of earlywood versus latewood in the trunk of 21-year-old Douglas-®r [Pseudostuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] trees. Speci®c conductivity (ks) and the vulnerability of xylem to embolism were measured on a single growth ring and in a subset of earlywood and latewood samples within the same ring. Earlywood/latewood ratio, trunk water potential (Y) and relative water content (RWC) were used to predict differences in conductivities and vulnerability to embolism. Earlywood has about 11 times the ks of latewood, and up to 90% of the total ¯ow occurred through the earlywood. Earlywood's vulnerability to embolism followed the same trend as that of the whole wood, with 50% loss of conductivity at ±2.2 MPa (P50). Latewood was more vulnerable to embolism than earlywood at high Y, but as Y decreased, the latewood showed very little further embolism, with a P50
