Abstract: The thickness of transpiration ecoboundary layer of leaves, stems and whole plants ofpoplar seedlings is measured by means of 3H2O tracing techniques, and the relationship between transpiration of poplar seedling and environment is studied.The results show thatthe transpiration rate of upper leaf surface is larger than that of lower surface, and that ofleaf margins is larger than that of the midribs.The transpiration ecoboundary thicknessof leaf is 5-6cm, while that of whole seedling is 24cm.

Key words: Poplar seedling, Transpiration rate, Ecoboundary layer
