• Label: Leaf turgor loss point
• Entity URI: https://w3id.org/APD/traits/trait_0021056
• Type: numeric
• Definition: A parameter [STATO:0000034] calculated from a pressure-volume curve [APD:glossary/40124], which is the leaf water potential [EnvThes:22311] at which the mean turgor pressure [TO:0000701] of cells [CL:0000000] in the leaf/terminal shoot drops to zero. This is the point at which the plant wilts.;A parameter calculated from a pressure-volume curve which is the water potential at which the mean cell turgor pressure in the leaf/shoot declines to zero.
• Additional comments: None
• units: MPa
• allowable range: -5 - 0 MPa
