Abstract

Net photosynthetic rate (PN), transpiration rate (E), stomatal conductance (Cond), intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci), and vapor pressure deficit on the surface (VPD) of Taxus cuspidata leaves set at a series of CO2 concentration were investigated with the LI-COR 6400 portable photosynthesis system. For the annual shoot and the biennial shoots and blades, both PN and E increased with the increase in CO2 concentration, but the increase in PN was larger than that in E. The maximal PN of the annual shoot (6.95 mol·m-2·s-1) was larger than that of the biennial shoot (6.87 mol·m-2·s-1) at a CO2 concentration as high as 1400*10-6. E of the annual shoot was slightly larger than the biennial shoot but with no big disparity. Water use efficiency (WUE=PN/E) of the annual and biennial shoots went up with CO2 concentration. WUE of the annual shoot was slightly higher than the biennial shoot, yet without significant disparity. The significant ascent of PN played a major role in the WUE of Taxus cuspidata going up with the elevated CO2 concentration.
