Xylem Cavitation: An Indication of Moisture Stress in Newly Planted Western Hemlock Seedling
Xylem cavitation occurs when water potentials reach a level great enough to introduce air into the water conducting system. Cavitation events in western hemlock were found to begin at -1.9MPa and reach very high levels at -3.4MPa. The best place to monitor cavitation events was the base of the seedling stem.
