Which challenge arises for a drought-stressed tree because xylem conduits embolize?

💡 Explanation

Embolism of xylem vessels disrupt continuous water columns, because air bubbles block water transport; the cohesion-tension mechanism fails, therefore water ascent diminishes to the leaves, rather than the other disruptions.
