    Abstract:

    Daily changes of leaf water content, transpiration rate, leaf water potential, and root water potential of Robinia Pseu doacacia from different stand densities and soil water within 60 cm of soil surface in the proving ground were studied on typical clear days during the peak season. Results are listed as following : (1) Daily average leaf water content of different stand densities was lower in August than J uly and was in the sequence ofρ22002000140016001800 in the two months. (2) Diurnal variation of t ranspiration rate was similar in both months, meaning that the curves changed f rom“double peak”style to“single peak”with increased stand density and all the peak values appeared between 13 :00 and 14 :00. Daily average transpiration rate wasρ18001600140020002200 in July and August . (3) Daily average leaf water potential of different stand densities was in the following order in both months :ρ18001600140020002200 and was apparently lower in August than in July, with more obvious daily variation in August than in July. (4) Root water potential was higher than leaf water potential, with daily variation obviously less than leaf water potential, and daily average root water potential of five stands with different densities was in the order ofρ18001600140020002200 and was lower in August than in July, with more obvious daily variation in August than in July.(5) Difference between leaf and root water potential ( S —L ) was negatively related with transpiration rate ( Tr) and such a relationship can befitted by logarihmic curve. (6) Leaf water potential of R. Pseudoacacia increases with leaf water content, the relationship between them can be described by logarithmic curve. (7) With the increased soil depth, soil water variation was lower in July than in August and the average soil water in 0 —60 cm layer declined with increased stand density. From the respective of effective water utilization and the best growth vigor, 1800 st rains/ hm2 is the reasonable stand density.
