Hydraulic Conductivity Characteristics of Desert Plant Organs: Coping with Drought Tolerance Strategy
Plant hydraulic conductivity (K) refers to the rate of water flow (kg s−1) per unit pressure drop (MPa), which drives flow through the plant organ system. It is an important eco-physiology index for measuring plant water absorption and transport capacity. A field study was conducted in the...
