Response of Stomatal Conductance to Vapor Pressure Deficit in Leaves of Four Trees at the Campus of Shandong University
Abstract:
Response of gas exchange to VPD in leaves of four trees (Prunus serrulata, Prunus lannesiana, Populus deltoides I-69 (I-69) and Populus × euramericana Neva (I-107)) at the campus of Shandong University in Jinan, Shandong Province were measured. The result showed that: the stomatal conductance increased with increasing VPD, and gs reached gs-max at intermediate VPD, and a steady decline in gs with further increases in VPD. This response pattern was fitted by a parabolic curve (gs=aD2+bD+c, D=VPD, R2>0.52). The gs-max at intermediate VPD with changing VPD showed that there was an optimal VPD (or RH) to plants. Therefore, while VPD (or RH) was higher or lower than the optimal VPD (or RH) of plant, gs would decrease. The response of gs to VPD in I-69 and I-107 were much more sensitive than P. serrulata and P. lannesiana.
