A review on the water physiological characteristics of Tamarix and its prospect

Abstract

Abstract: It is very important to study and grasp the water physiological characteristics of Tamarix in order to use properly and scientifically manage it. Based on the multiply studies on the water physiological characteristics of Tamarix (P Vcurves,predawn water potential and water potential daily course and transpiration rate) for many years, a preliminary comment was given on the experimental methods used at home and abroad. The aims of this paper is to understand the ecological characteristics of Tamarix as fast as possible and provide theoretical bases for the restoration and re establishment of Tamarix in the arid and semi arid region.

Key words: Tamarix, Water physiology, leaf stoichiometry, Quercus acutissima., provenance, variation
