Description:
In order to explore the functional significance of ecophysiological heterogeneity among three arid microhabitats (sand dune, lowland and wetland), we investigated the stomatal and photosynthetic acclimation to soil moistures in different plants of highly diversified Hunshandak Sandland, Inner Mongolia, China. Wetland was found to have the highest soil water potential (0-40cm), while the fixed sand dune had the lowest (Plowland>fixed sand dune (p
