Figure 2
Midday leaf water potential (Ψmd) from the old-growth (OF), intermediate (IF) and young (YF) forests during the dry (white bars) and wet (gray bars) season in (A) all species and those growing in multiple successions including (B) Symplocos cochinchinensis, (C) Schima wallichii and (D) Syzygium nervosum. Each bar represents mean ± one standard error of 150 sampled leaves in (A), and 30 samples in (B–D). For each panel, different upper- and lower-case letters represent significant differences in the wet and dry seasons, respectively. Asterisks indicate significant seasonal differences within the same successional stage based on independent sample t-test.; ns = not significant, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, and ****p < 0.0001.
