文摘The sap flux density (SFD) was used as a measure of water capacity through stems of eucalyptus in this paper. It was found that daily SFD increased with daily vapor pressure deficit (VPD) in nonlinear regression Y = AX3 + BX2 + CX + D (R2 = 0.702 1, n = 135, p = 0.01) at both sites (Hetou and Jijia) in the Leizhou Peninsula, Guangdong Province, China, where Y was daily SFD, X was mean daily VPD, A, B, C, D were constants.

The upper threshold of diurnal SFD was 51.5555.65 mLcm2h1 under the selected extremely high environmental conditions.
