Abstract:
The 4 tree species in genus
Larix introduced into the Loess Hilly Region in northwest China grew normally though the growth rate was small because of water deficiency.The growth rate of these 4 tree species was ordered as:
Larix principis-rupprechtii >
Larix kaempferi >
Larix gmelini >
Larix olgensis.The mean of the diurnal photosynthetic rate was in order:
Larix kaempferi >
Larix principis-rupprechtii >
Larix gmelini >
Larix olgensis, whereas the transpiration rate of the 4 was ordered as:
Larix principis-rupprechtii >
Larix gmelini >
Larix kaempferi >
Larix olgensis.It was demonstrated by the results that
Larix principis-rupprechtii might be extensively planted in the Loess Hilly Region in the future.
