Abstract:The transpiration rate of Abies georgei (20 years) was determined at sample plots on subalpine in Northwest of Yunnan Province. The result of annual change shows that the rate is from lower to higher monthly. The transpiration rate reached maximum value of 195.88 mgH20·gdw-1·h-1 in July, then, it decreases gradually in a open-grown sample leaf of the current year. The phenomenon of “noon-rest” shows that the curve for day change of transpiration rate is the form of double peaks. Statistical analysis proves that the variance of transpiration rate is influenced mainly by the environmental factors, particularly by temperature, relative humidity and light intensity. The correlations between transpiration rate and temperature, light intensity are positive and that between transpiration rate and relative humidity is negative. The variances of the transpiration rate on the elevations are different. The transpiration rate decreases with the increase of elevation in the natural forest area. Change is less in whole day at high elevation and light wave too. The rate of transpiration in clear cut over area is higher than in the area under deep canopy of a subalpine natural forest, they are 186.15 and 123.97 respectively Lastly, the correlation between transpiration rate and environmental factors and plant setting are discussed in this paper.
