    Abstract Understanding climate change impacts on the Cape Floristic Region requires improved knowledge of plant physiological responses to the environment. Studies examining physiological responses of mountain fynbos have consisted of campaign-based measurements, capturing snapshots of plant water relations and photosynthesis. We examine conclusions drawn from prior studies by tracking in situ physiological responses of three species, representing dominant growth forms (proteoid, ericoid, restioid), over 2 years using miniature continuous sap flow technology, long-term observations of leaf/culm water potential and gas exchange, and xylem vulnerability to embolism. We observed considerable inter-specific variation in the timing and extent of seasonal declines in productivity. Shallow-rooted Erica monsoniana exhibited steep within-season declines in sap flow and water potentials, and pronounced inter-annual variability in total daily sap flux (J

    Abstract The hydraulic death hypothesis suggests that fires kill trees by damaging the plant's hydraulic continuum in addition to stem cambium. A corollary to this hypothesis is that plants that survive fires possess 'pyrohydraulic' traits that prevent heat-induced embolism formation in the xylem and aid post-fire survival. We examine whether hydraulic segmentation within stem xylem may act as such a trait. To do so, we measured the percentage loss of conductance (PLC) and vulnerability to embolism axially along segments of branches exposed to heat plumes in two differing species, fire-tolerant Eucalyptus cladocalyx F. Muell and fire-sensitive Kiggelaria africana L., testing model predictions that fire-tolerant species would exhibit higher degrees of hydraulic segmentation (greater PLC in the distal parts of the branch than the basal) than fire-intolerant species (similar PLC between segments). Following exposure to a heat plume, K. africana suffered between 73 and 84% loss of conductance in all branch segments, whereas E. cladocalyx had 73% loss of conductance in whole branches, including the distal tips, falling to 29% in the most basal part of the branch. There was no evidence for differences in resistance segmentation between the species, and there was limited evidence for differences in distal vulnerability to embolism across the branches. Hydraulic segmentation in E. cladocalyx may enable it to resprout effectively post-fire with a functional hydraulic system. The lack of hydraulic segmentation in K. africana reveals the need to understand possible trade-offs associated with hydraulic segmentation in long-lived woody species with respect to drought and fire.

  9. Article ; Online: Unilateral tests of lower-limb function as prognostic indicators of future knee-related outcomes following anterior cruciate ligament injury: a systematic review and meta-analysis of 13 150 adolescents and adults.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the prognostic capacity of individual hop tests, hop test batteries and other unilateral functional performance tests following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.
    Design: Systematic review with meta-analysis.
    Data sources: Six databases searched up to June 2021.
    Eligibility criteria: Studies reporting associations between unilateral lower-limb function (eg, hop tests) following ACL injury and future (≥3 months) knee-related outcomes.
    Results: Of 42 included studies (13 150 participants), all assessed the single-forward hop test and 32 assessed a repeated-forward hop test (crossover hop, triple hop, 6m-timed hop), mostly within a year after ACL injury/reconstruction. Results of meta-analyses indicated that higher single-forward and repeated-forward hop limb symmetry were associated with higher odds of return-to-sport 1-3 years post-ACL reconstruction (OR 2.15; 95% CI 1.30 to 3.54; OR 2.11; 95% CI 1.23 to 3.60, respectively). Higher single-forward and repeated-forward hop limb symmetry was associated with better self-reported symptoms and function 1-37 years after ACL injury (OR 2.51; 95% CI 1.62 to 3.88; OR 4.28; 95% CI 1.65 to 11.08, respectively). Higher limb symmetry on a repeated-forward hop does not appear to be associated with higher odds of successful rehabilitation without ACL reconstruction (OR 1.51; 95% CI 0.94 to 2.44). Achieving ≥90% limb symmetry on the single-forward hop was associated with reduced odds of knee osteoarthritis 5-37 years after ACL injury (OR 0.46; 95% CI 0.23 to 0.94).
    Conclusion: Very low certainty evidence suggests single-forward and repeated-forward hop tests are prognostic indicators for important knee-related outcomes in individuals after ACL injury and may help stratify individuals at risk of poor outcomes to target rehabilitation interventions.

    Abstract Self-assembly is a key guiding principle for the design of complex nanostructures. Substituted beta oligoamides offer versatile building blocks that can have inherent folding characteristics, offering geometrically defined functionalities that can specifically bind and assemble with predefined morphological characteristics. In this work hierarchical self-assembly is implemented based on metal coordinating helical beta-oligoamides crosslinked with transition metals selected for their favourable coordination geometries, Fe
