Table 1.

pv‐curve analysis and xylem hydraulic parameters of Vaccinium myrtillus and Vaccinium vitis‐idaea. Osmotic potential at saturation (Ψo; MPa), turgor loss point (Ψtlp; MPa), cell wall elasticity (aela; dimensionless), xylem water potential at 12, 50 and 88% loss of xylem conductivity (ΨPLC12, ΨPLC50, ΨPLC88; MPa) and specific xylem hydraulic conductivity (ks; 10−4 m2 s−1 MPa−1) of shoots are given. Averaged values for three sites analyzed during summer per species in Tyrol are shown. Mean ± se, different letters indicate significant differences between species, P ≤ 0.05
