Scientists studied what caused leaf shedding in a drought deciduous (=shedding leaves during the dry season) subtropical species. They quantified the quantum yield (=efficiency) of the PSII complex and the leaf hydraulic conductance (=efficiency of leaf water movement) in leaves of that species during the wet to dry transition. Please describe the results in Figure  Figure 1. Changes in leaf hydraulic conductance during the wet and dry season transition
