Abstract

In the present study, photosynthetic traits and chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence parameters of Populus sibirica grown under different irrigation regimes were investigated to estimate seedling growth and vitality for reforestation of a desertification area. According to our results, photosynthesis and Chl fluorescence were significantly affected by water deficit only under severe drought conditions.
