Mean leaf relative water content (RWC) (%) of the three regenerative strategies [seeder (S), resprouter (R) and seeder–resprouter (SR)], in summer, autumn and winter. Vertical bars denote 0·95 confidence intervals. Post hoc Fisher's l.s.d. significant differences (P < 0·05) are indicated with different letters: upper case letters (A, B, C) indicate differences between seasons, italic lower case letters (a, b) in the key indicate differences between strategies, and roman lower case letters (a, b) indicate differences between seasons for a given strategy. All the species (except C. spinosa and C. monogyna) are included.
