From: Responses to defoliation of Robinia pseudoacacia L. and Sophora japonica L. are soil water condition dependent

Fig. 3

Amax, E, Gs, and chl a/b (panels a–d) of R. pseudoacacia and S. japonica grown in different water and defoliation treatments (mean ± SE, n(Amax, E, and Gs) = 3, n(Chl a/b) = 5) at 8 weeks after defoliation. Different uppercase and lowercase letters denote significant differences in each species at p ≤ 0.05 by Duncan’s test, respectively. W1, W2, and W3: 75%, 55%, and 35% of field capacity. D0, D1, and D2: control, 50% defoliation, and 100% defoliation. Asterisks indicate significant differences between species in each drought and defoliation treatment separately with independent sample t-test: **p ≤ 0.01, *p ≤ 0.05
