Differences in water regulation strategies between ring-porous and diffuse-porous species: an anatomical analysis of the hydrodynamic functions of urban forest trees

Key Points

• Water regulation strategies differ significantly between ring-porous and diffuse-porous species, impacting urban ecology.
• The study highlights anatomical features linked to hydrodynamic functions, influencing tree survival in urban environments.
• Using anatomical analysis, the investigation compares water regulation strategies of these species in urban forests.
• Understanding these differences may inform tree selection and management in urban forestry, supporting biodiversity.
