Fig. 2From: Is vulnerability segmentation at the leaf-stem transition a drought resistance mechanism? A theoretical test with a trait-based model for Neotropical canopy tree speciesRelationships between shoot desiccation time and vulnerability segmentation for all species. a Shoot desiccation time according to P88-segmentation (P88,leaf – P88,stem). b Shoot desiccation time according to P50-segmentation (P50,leaf – P50,stem). c Shoot desiccation time according to the stomatal-hydraulic safety margin (Ψtlp – P88,stem). d Shoot desiccation time according to the stomatal-hydraulic safety margin (Ψtlp – P50,stem).
