@NewPhyt @RomanMLink @PlantLabUlm @fonrobinson1 @cabral_sarmento @schuldt_lab Water in the xylem doesn’t move hydraulically, as assumed (No “hydraulically weighted vessel diameter (Dh)”, no “conductivity”🧑🔧). It moves almost tensionless thermodynamically and adsorptive/desorptive along the cellulosic matrix🌿. Please see: preprints.org/manuscript/202…
