To combat this, trees in the dry tropics developed skinnier pipes, which, thanks to the counterintuitive physics of bubbles in water, develop fewer bubble blockages than the wide, high-capacity pipes of their wet-tropical cousins.

为了解决这个问题，干燥热带的树木进化出了更细的管道，由于水中气泡的反直觉物理学原理，这种管道比湿热带表亲的宽大、高容量管道产生的气泡堵塞更少。
