A water-controlled experiment with four treatments (no rain, half raining, natural raining and double raining) was carried out in a forest. The factors including soil water content (SWC), precipitation, sap flow density (), leaf area index (LAI), vapor pressure deficit (VPD) were monitored during August 2016 to August 2017. We further analyzed the response of canopy stomatal conductance () to changes of SWC.
