Foliar Water Uptake of Tamarix ramosissima from an Atmosphere of High Humidity
Figure 1
Water absorption by mature and tender leaves from detached twigs of T. ramosissima during submergence in deionized water for 6 h (). (a) The mean (±SE) leaf water content before and after submergence. (b) The mean (±SE) increase in leaf water content. (c) The mean (±SE) foliar uptake quantity standardized by leaf dry weight. The asterisk indicates increase in leaf water content or foliar uptake of the two leaf types reached significant level.
