Table II. Measured versus modeled Kox.
Measured and modeled Kox for eight species are shown. Modeled values are based on default simulation conditions and calculated using Equation 18 (based on average outside-xylem water potential rather than outside-BS water potential). Units for all conductances are mmol m−2 s−1 MPa−1.
