Hydraulic capacitance variance (chr_VarCbranch)
The variance of the values of hydraulic capacitance for the apical branches of 10 measured adult dominant or co-dominant trees sampled either inside or in the vicinity of the representative circular plot with a radius of 15 m. Capacitance is the change in % relative water content (i.e., water content relative to its maximum value at saturation) per unit change in water potential. During a severe drought, if capacitance is high, the tree is capable of exploiting its own water reserves to delay desiccation.
The variance of the change in branch relative water content (RWC) per unit change in water potential across all measured trees
