Abstract:Transpiration rates and water consumption of nine main plantation tree species in North China were studied by using Lico 6400 Portable Photosynthesis System and BP3400 Precision Balance etc.. Leaf water potential was measured using pressure chamber in different phase. The water consumption patterns of seedlings were observed in normal water supply and drought stress conditions. The quantity and rate of water consumption were compared and analyzed in different water potentials and in times of day and nigh...
