Abstract:

The photosynthesis,transpiration and stomatal conductance of Eucalyptus grandis×E.urophylla was studied under different seasons in Lancang,Yunnan Province with Li-6400. Result showed that LSP of E.grandis×E.urophylla was 1 590 μmol photon·m-2 s-1 in rainfall season,and decreased to 867 μmol photon·m-2 s-1 in dry season. Seasonal drought enhanced stomatal limitation to both photosynthesis and transpiration. E.grandis×E.urophylla had similar change patterns of stomatal conductance and transpiration in response to irradiation intensity as native species Schima wallichii in dry season,but the photosynthesis was much higher than Schima wallichii. E.grandis×E.urophylla could adapt different water conditions in different seasons as native species.

Key words: Eucalyptus grandis×, E.urophylla, photosynthesis, transpiration, water use efficiency
