Research Abstract

In the Cambodian tropical seasonal forest site, exotic plant species' photosynthetic ability and sensitivity of stomatal control to drought were higher than domestic plant species' ones, and further, these were due to root system extended to deep water table. In the Malaysian tropical rainforest site, through-fall exclusion experiments reveals that Dipterocarpaceae trees, major tree species in Southeast Asian tropical rainforests, have little response of water use to drought condition by stomatal control.
