- Observation The most resilient species had minimal embolism.
- Observation The most resilient species recovered gas exchange within days after rewatering from -10 MPa.
- Observation The most sensitive species had major embolism and very slow recovery.
- Association In sensitive species water transport repair rate equaled basal area growth rate.
- Observation Stem water transport physiology predicts survival and recovery from water stress.
