| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Observations of a teak plantation revealed that under natural conditions the trees significantly decreased sap flow and lost their leaves in the dry season between February and April 2014. In comparison, under controlled well-watered soil conditions, the subject teak trees did not open new leaves and ceased sap flow until March 2014. Two weeks later, the watered trees opened new leaves, and the sap flow once again increased. The stem growth of all the trees increased from April to September 2014 under both natural and well-watered conditions. Additionally, leaf nitrogen content, corresponding to the photosynthesis capacity decreased with lower soil moisture. Leaf nitrogen content capacity decreased more slowly in the watered trees. Lower carbon gain per water use was also observed in the trees subject to controlled watering conditions. Therefore, we believe the amount of soil moisture in the root zone directly influences sap flow, new leaves, and leaf fall.
