In addition, Leave-One-Out Cross-Validation together with correlation analysis indicated that groundwater depth prediction based on maximum tree height in arid regions was an accurate and promising approach. In conclusion, our study showed that the hydraulic limitation of water transportation led to a negative relationship between maximum tree height and groundwater depth. Our developed model for predicting groundwater depth with maximum tree height has provided the important basis for the conservation and management of groundwater resources in arid regions.]]> Wed 12 Jul 2023 10:57:23 AEST ]]> Hydraulic constraints determine the distribution of heteromorphic leaves along plant vertical height https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52519 Mon 16 Oct 2023 10:38:38 AEDT ]]>
