Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Santalum foliar nitrogen exceeded that of corresponding hosts.
- Association Santalum foliar nitrogen was higher on N2-fixing hosts than on eucalypt or without a host.
- Association Santalum foliar nitrogen, net photosynthesis and instantaneous water-use efficiency were positively related.
- Observation Santalum photosynthesis and water-use efficiency were generally lower than in corresponding hosts.
- Observation Santalum transpiration was not noticeably different among host associations.
- Association Santalum shoot δ13C was poorly correlated with gas-exchange water-use efficiency.
- Observation Legume associations had less negative host δ13C values and better host water-use efficiencies than parasites.
- Observation Host and parasite diurnal stomatal responses were closely coordinated.
- Mechanism Parasite transpiration generated leaf-water-potential gradients favoring continuous host water and nutrient abstraction.
- Observation Host-specific effects on Santalum relative water content and osmotic adjustment were slight.
- Mechanism The authors judged host-specific effects unimportant for parasite water flow and short-term water-stress protection.
