Check our latest preprint, by Juan Baca Cabrera .

Juan collected root hydraulic data from the literature & compiled it into a shared database (https://roothydraulic-properties.shinyapps.io/database).

Juan then analysed the main factors driving changes in root system scale hydraulic conductivity, across different plant functional types. The main ones?

Age, drought, aquaporins & measurement techniques.
