Abstract:
      Photosynthesis characteristics and water use efficiency (WUE) were studied in different stimulated rainfall.The results showed that the photosynthesis rate (Pn) of micro-collecting planting treatments was higher in comparing with the control condition under 230 mm and 340 mm rainfall,increased by 41.1% and 10.5% separately.But there was no significant difference between micro-collecting planting and the control condition under 440 mm.And the WUE of micro-collecting planting treatments in comparing with the control condition was higher under 230 mm、340 mm and 440 mm rainfall,increased by 20.5%,18.9% and 10.7% separately.The results also showed that the diurnal change curve of Pn was a single peak charact in micro-collecting planting treatments and the control condition.The diurnal change of WUE was a single peak curve under 230 mm and 340 mm rainfall,but was a downward tendency under 440 mm in the control condition.In micro-collecting planting,the diurnal change of WUE was a single peak curve.
