Study Reveals How Tall Dipterocarp Trees Overcome Water Transport Challenges

A study in Malaysia found that towering dipterocarp trees have evolved specialized systems, including wider xylem vessels and drought-tolerant leaves, to efficiently transport water to extreme heights. This challenges the belief that tall trees are more vulnerable to drought, with implications for understanding forest resilience in a changing climate.
