Figure 2: Comparison of the leaf traits between Pinus sylvestris and Viscum album ssp. austriacum in the control and irrigation treatments (n = 3 trees per treatment). (a) Leaf mass per unit leaf area (LMA) of mistletoe leaves and pine needles, (b) leaf water content of mistletoe leaves and pine needles, (c) single leaf area of mistletoe leaves and pine needles. Different letters indicate significant differences (P<0.05) for each tissue between dry controls and irrigated trees.
