Abstract: Using gas exchange measurement system, the photosynthesis, respiration and stomatal conductance of several coniferous and broadleaved tree species were measured simultaneously.Under conditions of low and middle illumination, N2O emission is found from leaves or needles of tested tree species.There is no significant relationship between N2O flux and photosynthetic rate.The N2O absorption by plants is also observed.Its emission rate is increaed with increasing temperature and respiration rate.Stomata is probably the main pathway for N2O emission.

Key words: Woody plant, N2O emission, Stomatal conductance
