Comparison of hydraulic architectural parameters of hemi-epiphytic plants of Ficus (obligate C3) and Clusia uvitana (C3/CAM intermediate)
| Parameter | Ficus spp. | C. uvitana | Ratio Ficus/C. uvitana |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ks (kg s−1 m−1 MPa−1) | 7–34 | 1.1 | 6–30 |
| Kl (kg s−1 m−1 MPa−1) | 7–23 | 1.5 | 4–15 |
Ks, specific stem conductivity; Kl, conductive stem per unit of leaf area.
