Kinetics of shoot surface water uptake and its effects on leaf hydraulic conductance in Avicennia marina

This dataset characterises the kinetics of water absorption through excised shoots of the grey mangrove, Avicennia marina, and quantifies the effects of this form of water uptake on the recovery of leaf hydraulic conductance. Results show that shoot surface water uptake declines with rehydration time but not with dehydration, and that it can lead to full recovery of leaf hydraulic conductance.
