Fig. 6From: Hydraulic properties and embolism in small-diameter roots of five temperate broad-leaved tree species with contrasting drought toleranceEmpirically determined specific conductivity k s of the xylem of small-diameter roots in relation to the root area index RAI (a) and the fine root biomass FRB in 0–20 cm (b) of the species in monospecific patches. Data of root area index and fine root biomass are means of four monospecific plots per species, studied by Jacob et al. (submitted)Back to article page
