• Label: Bulk modulus of elasticity (e)
• Entity URI: https://w3id.org/APD/traits/trait_0021059
• Type: numeric
• Definition: A parameter [STATO:0000034] calculated from a pressure-volume curve [APD:glossary/40124], which is, for a shoot or leaf [PO:0025034], the ratio [PATO:0001470] of the change in cell [CL:0000000] turgor potential (negative turgor pressure [TO:0000701]) over the relative change in cell volume (change in volume/initial volume). It is an estimation of cell wall [GO:0009505] rigidity.;A parameter calculated from a pressure-volume curve which indicates the elasticity or rigidity of cells in leaves. It is the ratio of the change in cell turgor potential to the change in relative cell volume (change in volume/initial volume).
