Abstract excerpt
Populus × euramericana (Pe) displays higher stable carbon isotope composition (δ(13)C) and intrinsic water use efficiency (WUEi) than Populus cathayana (Pc) under unlimited water conditions, rendering us to hypothesize that Pe is better acclimated to water deficiency than Pc. To examine this hypothesis, saplings of Pc and Pe were exposed to drought and subsequently re-watered. Pc and Pe exhibited distinct...
