[Castanopsis jianfengensis sap flow and its relationships with environmental factors in tropical montane rainforest].

By the method of thermal dissipation and using ICT-2000TE apparatus made in Australia, the Castanopsis jianfengensis sap flow and the variations of environmental factors in a mixed tropical montane rainforest at Jianfengling Nature Forest Reserve (18 degrees 36'N, 108 degrees 52'E, 860 m altitude) were measured synchronously during the dry and rainy seasons, 2002. The results showed that the sap flow density of C. jianfengensis exhibited mono-peak pattern in clear days and multi-peak pattern in cloudy or rainy days.
