  1. Correlations (⍴) between critical values of cold hardiness (℃) for four electrolyte leakage approaches, visual damage (including lowest survival temperature), and low temperature exotherms. Correlations are calculated for maple genotype means (n = 36) for all indices except LTEs, for which species means (n = 12) are compared to other metrics. We focus on the use of the LT50 critical value extracted using the Limlogistic approach (enclosed with borders). Bolded correlations indicate a significant (α < 0.05) bivariate correlation test
