🌳 Xylem Sap Ascent Lab: Cohesion-Tension, Cavitation and the Embolism Vulnerability Curve in a Drying Tree - 3D Blender Model

3D cut-away tree with a live vessel window: cohesion-tension water potential with gravity and friction, Hagen-Poiseuille vessel conductance, air-seeding cavitation, the Weibull vulnerability curve, stomatal control and the supply-demand curve.

⚙ Under the hood

Water is pulled up a tree under tension: integrate the xylem pressure profile with gravity, Hagen-Poiseuille vessel conductance and air-seeding cavitation, watch embolism spread down a drought, and read the supply curve, critical transpiration and hydraulic failure.
