Minimum Leaf Conductance ( g min ) Is Higher in the Treeline of Pinus uncinata Ram. in the Pyrenees: Michaelis' Hypothesis Revisited

The search for a universal explanation of the altitudinal limit determined by the alpine treeline has given rise to different hypotheses. In this study, we revisited Michaelis' hypothesis which proposed that an inadequate "ripening" of the cuticle caused a greater transpiration rate d...
