Linking stem rehydration kinetics to hydraulic traits using a novel method and mechanistic model.

Overall, the two-balance method can be used to quickly and thoroughly examine rehydration dynamics in detached woody stems. This method has the potential to improve our understanding of how capacitance functions across tree species, which is an often-overlooked component of whole-plant hydraulics.
