Vulnerability of xylem to embolism of branches from dominant tree species from different successions in Khao Yai National Park, Thailand. Mean vulnerability curves are presented with shaded bands representing one standard error from 3 measured branches for a given species. The gray dotted and solid red lines indicate the xylem pressure at 50% loss of hydraulic conductivity (P₅₀) and percentage loss of hydraulic conductivity corresponding to midday leaf water potential (Ψ_md) during the dry season (PLC_dry), respectively.
