Hydraulic Traits Constrain Salinity-Dependent Niche Segregation in Mangroves by Haijing Cheng, Yinjie Chen, Yunhui Peng, Mi Wei, Junfeng Niu

“…We found the following: (1) <i>A. marina</i> and <i>B. gymnorhiza</i> had the most negative <i>P</i>₅₀ (water potential at which 50% of hydraulic conductivity was lost), while <i>S. caseolaris</i> and <i>S. apetala</i> had the least negative <i>P</i>₅₀, indicating different resistance to embolism in xylem; (2) <i>P</i>₅₀ and <i>P</i>₈₈ (water potential at which 88% of hydraulic conductivity was lost) declined with increasing salinity from the onshore to offshore species, as their water regulation strategy meanwhile transitioned from isohydry to anisohydry; (3) <i>B. gymnorhiza</i> had smaller <i>SLA</i> but larger hydraulic safety margin (<i>HSM</i>), implying potentially higher capacity of water retention in leaves and lower risk of hydraulic failure in xylem. …”
