The effects of the independent variables (species, sampling month, and their interaction as fixed effects) on the dependent variables (each pressure-volume parameter) were evaluated using a linear mixed model [69]. Type III tests were performed for fixed effects (Wald-type test). Significant interspecific differences were on Ψtlp and Ψmd (P < 0.0001, Type III test, Table 2). Effect of the month was also significant for all tested pressure-volume parameters (P < 0.0001, Type III test, Table 2). Asterisk in the figure indicates significant differences between species in each month (ANOVA, *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001; ns, not significant). The bars indicate standard division.
