Abstract:As part of the plant water-use process, plant nocturnal sap flow (
Q) has been demonstrated to have important
ecophysiological significance to compensate for water loss. The purpose
of this study was to explore nocturnal water-use strategies to fill the
knowledge gap in mangroves, by measuring three species co-occurring in a
subtropical estuary. The Q existed persistently
and contributed markedly over 5.5%~24.0% of the daily
sap flow ( Q) across species, which was associated with two
processes, nocturnal trans… Show more
