Ecophysiological performance of dipterocarps in response to environmental stress -Special emphasis on water relations-
Country
Malaysia
Description
［Synopsis］
Slow growth of dipterocarps appeared to be caused by stomatal closure during daytime, which strongly reduced photosynthetic CO2 uptake. Low soil-to-leaf hydraulic conductance in dipterocarps limited water availability and thus caused a decrease in the leaf water potential especially in mature tall trees. Seedlings of dipterocarps grown in the nursery were susceptible to water stress due to the low ability of maintaining turgor. On the other hand, leaves of exposed trees had adapted to water deficiency stress morphologically and turgor was maintained, through osmotic adjustment.
