Fig. 3. Evolution of osmotic potential in the refilling vessel (A) and in the living cell (B). The simulations are calculated for the base case, for a reflection coefficient of 0·95 (otherwise the base case), and for a living cell to recovering vessel volume ratio of 2, a reflectivity coefficient of 0·95, a xylem pressure of –0·2 MPa and an initial living cell osmotic potential of –0·5 MPa (otherwise the base case).
