Relationships between shoot desiccation time and drought resistance traits for the 12 species with a positive vulnerability segmentation (P88,leaf > P88,stem). a Shoot desiccation time according to the leaf-bark difference in minimum conductance. b Shoot desiccation time according to the leaf-bark difference in surface area. c Shoot desiccation time according to the leaf-bark difference in evapotranspiration. d Shoot desiccation time according to the total shoot vs. stem capacity per total evaporative surface area. Leaf surface area is multiplied by two as both abaxial and adaxial sides are evaporative. All abbreviations are presented in Table 1
