Line Plot from Scientific Research

Ecosystems in fine-textured soils (that is, clays) are expected to be comparatively more sensitive to VPD than those in coarse soils (that is, sands), while ecosystems in coarse-textured soils are expected to be comparatively more sensitive to soil drying than in fine soils because critical soil water potentials ( soil ) are more negative (note the 10-fold different x -axis limit in a , b ), and the g c downregulation is more gradual (softer colour transitions), in fine- than in coarse-textured soils.
