The data obtained showed significantly lower hydraulic conductance and lower vulnerability to embolism in the drought-tolerant species Acer opalus than in the water prefering species Acer pseudoplatanus. Similar differences in hydraulic conductance and xylem vulnerability to embolism were also found under dry acclimated conditions for Fraxinus excelsior trees indicating that the hydraulic differences observed might be attributable to the contrasting soil water conditions of the sites. The possible physiological and ecological significance of such differences are discussed in relation to habitat preference and the distribution of each species. hydraulic conductance xylem embolism drought tolerance Acer pseudoplatanus Acer opalus Fraxinus excelsior Résumé - Étude comparée des relations hydriques et des caractéristiques hydrauliques chez Fraxinus excelsior Acerpseudopla-tanus et Acer opalus dans différents milieux secs et humides.
