Fig. 5. Whole-tree loss of hydraulic conductance versus the integrated soil water potentials (left panels) and transpiration rates at the full canopy stage versus whole-tree loss
of hydraulic conductance (right panels) of a natural hardwood forest or a pine plantation growing either in the coastal or the Piedmont region of North Carolina, USA.
Simulations started with soil moisture being at full saturation. Filled and dashed arrows represent 20% and 5% REW, respectively.
