Fig. 4From: Do karst woody plants control xylem tension to avoid substantial xylem cavitation in the wet season?Stomatal conductance as a function of leaf specific hydraulic conductivity for 13 karst woody species. Both maximum Kl and Kl at noon (Klnoon) were measured at a vapour pressure deficit of 1 kPa for 13 karst woody species in southwestern China. The solid line represents best-fit linear regression. Open triangles and closed dots represent deciduous and evergreen species, respectivelyBack to article page
