Abstract

Abstract: 【Objective】Larix gmelinii is the climax vegetation in the northern Great Xing'an Mountains. The pronounced differences between new and old branches may cause significant variations of photosynthetic capacity and water use efficiency. Exploring the difference of photosynthetic capacity between new branch and old branch and the response of photosynthetic capacity of L. gmelinii can definitely help to accurately estimate the photosynthetic capacity and water use efficiency of the climax vegetation in Great Xing'an Mountains.【Method】The leaf photosynthetic capacity(P_n,max), transpiration rate(T_r)and water use efficiency(C_WUE)of the new and old branches of different differentiation grade L. gmelinii were examined in the study site of Mohe Forest Ecosystem Research Station from June to September in 2016.【Results】The results showed that the average P_n,max of new and old branches were 5.654 and 3.248 μmol/(m²·s), The average T_r were 1.291 and 0.779 μmol/(m²·s)respectively. The P_n,max and T_r of new branch were 74.1% and 65.7% higher than those of the old branch. The C_WUE of new branch was 6.61% higher than that of the old branch with the average values of 5.077 and 4.762 μmol/mmol, respectively. 【Conclusion】The analysis indicated that the differences of P_n,max and T_r between new and old branches were significant(P<0.01). The difference of average C_WUE between new and old branches was not statistically significant(P>0.05), although the C_WUE in June was significantly(P<0.01)different from those in the other months. Thus, we concluded that the P_n,max and T_r of L. gmelinii between new and old branches exhibited great differences, while the difference of C_WUE was much small.
