Which consequence results when a xylem embolism forms in an oak tree during a drought?

💡 Explanation

Localized leaf wilting occurs because xylem embolism restricts water transport via cohesion-tension, therefore limiting supply regionally rather than globally. Blockage prevents water from getting to the leaves on that branch because transpiration stream disruption is a local effect rather than systemic.
