  1. The letters represent grouping according to Tukey’s HSD post hoc tests. P 50 is the water potential of 50% loss of conductance, P 88 is the water potential of 88% loss of conductance, A L:A X is the lumen-to-sapwood area ratio, D is the specific vessel diameter, VD is the vessel density and K s is the hydraulic conductance normalised by max cross-sectional xylem area
