Fig. 5From: Hydraulic properties and embolism in small-diameter roots of five temperate broad-leaved tree species with contrasting drought toleranceDependence of root-specific conductivity k s (left) and the percental loss of conductivity (PLC) (right) on mean vessel diameter in small-diameter roots of the five species. Number of replicates: four to six trees per species with each four samples per tree. For significant relationships, the coefficient of determination (r 2) and the P value are givenBack to article page
