Influence of photosynthetic active radiation on sap flow dynamics across forest succession stages in Dinghushan subtropical forest ecosystem.

ABSTRACT: With the intensification of global change, forests are subjected to varying degrees of drought or high-temperature stress, which has an indelible impact on the growth of trees. However, knowledge on the response of sap flow to environmental changes in different types of forests is still rare, especially in China's subtropical forest ecosystem. Consequently, studying how different tree species regulate their sap flow in response to shifting environmental conditions is essential for understanding forest transpiration, water use efficiency, and drought stress resilience. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the sap flow dynamics of seven tree species in five forest plots, i.e., pine forest (PF), two types of mixed conifer-broadleaf forests (MF1+MF2), monsoon evergreen broadleaved forest
