GENERAL FEATURES OF WATER EXCHANGES

§ 75. Tolerated loads 



What ranges of water contents are compatible with recovery? 

 The equilibration diagrams are constructed for limited increments 

 of water, but most of them presumably could be extended to larger 

 deficits and excesses. For some species the limits of water content 

 that each survives have been measured (table 22). Perhaps the
