$\bullet$ Percent loss of hydraulic conductivity (PLC) is an important measure in plant water relations, but the available methods differ and results have rarely been compared. $\bullet$ We compared PLC measured in Norway spruce (Picea abies) by quantifying conductivity before and after removing emboli, either by flushing with high water pressure or by infiltration under a partial vacuum, with relative water loss and staining conductive xylem to test advantages and possible problems of commonly applied methods. $\bullet$ Infiltration removed nearly all gas from sections of drought-stressed and unstressed twigs, and flushing and infiltration efficiently removed emboli. Infiltration appears less prone to producing clogged xylem elements than...
