  30. <meta content="Leaf structure and physiology are thought to be
  31. closely linked to leaf longevity and leaf habit. Here we compare
  32. the seasonal variation in leaf hydraulic conductance
  33. (kleaf ) andwater potential of two evergreen tree species with
  34. contrasting leaf life spans, and two species with similar
  35. leaf longevity but contrasting leaf habit, one being deciduous
  36. and the other evergreen. One of the evergreen species,
  37. Simarouba glauca, produced relatively short-lived leaves
  38. that maintained high hydraulic conductance year round by
  39. periodic flushing. The other evergreen species, Quercus
  40. oleoides, produced longer-lived leaves with lower kleaf and
  41. as a result minimum leaf water potential was much lower
  42. than in S. glauca (−2.8 MPa vs −1.6 MPa). Associated
  43. with exposure to lower water potentials, Q. oleoides leaves
  44. were harder, had a higher modulus of elasticity, and were
  45. less vulnerable to cavitation than S. glauca leaves. Both
  46. species operate at water potentials capable of inducing 20
  47. (S. glauca) to 50% (Q. oleoides) loss of kleaf during the
  48. dry season although no evidence of cumulative losses in
  49. kleaf were observed in either species suggesting regular repair
  50. of embolisms. Leaf longevity in the deciduous species
  51. Rhedera trinervis is similar to that of S. glauca, although
  52. maximum kleaf was lower. Furthermore, a decline in leaf
  53. water potential at the onset of the dry season led to cumulative
  54. losses in kleaf in R. trinervis that culminated in leaf
  55. shedding." name="eprints.abstract" />

  294. closely linked to leaf longevity and leaf habit. Here we compare&#13;
  295. the seasonal variation in leaf hydraulic conductance&#13;
  296. (kleaf ) andwater potential of two evergreen tree species with&#13;
  297. contrasting leaf life spans, and two species with similar&#13;
  298. leaf longevity but contrasting leaf habit, one being deciduous&#13;
  299. and the other evergreen. One of the evergreen species,&#13;
  300. Simarouba glauca, produced relatively short-lived leaves&#13;
  301. that maintained high hydraulic conductance year round by&#13;
  302. periodic flushing. The other evergreen species, Quercus&#13;
  303. oleoides, produced longer-lived leaves with lower kleaf and&#13;
  304. as a result minimum leaf water potential was much lower&#13;
  305. than in S. glauca (−2.8 MPa vs −1.6 MPa). Associated&#13;
  306. with exposure to lower water potentials, Q. oleoides leaves&#13;
  307. were harder, had a higher modulus of elasticity, and were&#13;
  308. less vulnerable to cavitation than S. glauca leaves. Both&#13;
  309. species operate at water potentials capable of inducing 20&#13;
  310. (S. glauca) to 50% (Q. oleoides) loss of kleaf during the&#13;
  311. dry season although no evidence of cumulative losses in&#13;
  312. kleaf were observed in either species suggesting regular repair&#13;
  313. of embolisms. Leaf longevity in the deciduous species&#13;
  314. Rhedera trinervis is similar to that of S. glauca, although&#13;
  315. maximum kleaf was lower. Furthermore, a decline in leaf&#13;
  316. water potential at the onset of the dry season led to cumulative&#13;
  317. losses in kleaf in R. trinervis that culminated in leaf&#13;
  318. shedding.</p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block" border="0"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Article</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Additional Information:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">(The original publication is available at www.springerlink.com)</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Keywords:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Embolism .
