Fig. 4.
The ability of hydraulic vulnerability to predict the degree that leaf hydraulic conductance (Kleaf) was maintained after strong dehydration and rehydration for 1 h with petiole in water, calculated as Kleaf after rehydration divided by maximum Kleaf (Kmax). Filled circles represent species without recovery of Kleaf and open circles species that did show recovery of Kleaf. The line was fitted only for species without recovery of Kleaf (**P=0.005; ***P <0.001).
