Table I
Leaf predawn water potential (Ψp) and relative water content (RWC) during winter (July) and summer (February) for 3 field grown Eucalyptus species. p values represent seasonal differences between measurements. Post hoc grouping was performed using Tukey’s HSD. Season significance was obtained using ANOVA and Fishers LSD tests.
