Leaf-stem comparison in traits underlying vulnerability segmentation for the 12 species with a positive vulnerability segmentation (P_88,leaf > P_88,stem). a Comparison in P₈₈ between leaf and stem across species. b Comparison in minimum conductance between leaf (g_min) and bark (g_bark) across species. c Comparison in surface area between leaves and bark across species. d Comparison between total transpiration between leaves and bark across species. e Comparison in capacity per evaporative area between the entire shoot (leaf + stem) and stem only. Leaf surface area is multiplied by two as both abaxial and adaxial sides are evaporative. All abbreviations are presented in Table 1
