• Label: Leaf relative water content at turgor loss point
• Entity URI: https://w3id.org/APD/traits/trait_0021061
• Type: numeric
• Definition: A parameter [STATO:0000034] calculated from a pressure-volume curve [APD:glossary/40124], which is, for a leaf [PO:0025034], the ratio [PATO:0001470] of the mass [PATO:0000125] of water [CHEBI:15377] in the leaf at the turgor [PATO:0001620] loss point to the mass of water in the leaf at full hydration (saturated [NCIT:C61427]; relative water content = 100%).;Ratio of the mass of water in leaf at the point the leaf cells lose turgor to the mass of water in a fully saturated leaf. A fully saturated leaf is one which has been rehydrated to hold the maximum amount of water and is considered to have a relative water content of 100%. The plant's turgor loss point is calculated from a pressure-volume curve.
