  • We studied three typical heteromorphic leaves of Populus euphratica
    trees growing in the Wuhai region of Inner Mongolia, China, i.e., lanceolate, broad-ovate and dentate broad-ovate leaves and mainly focused on the changes in chlorophyll fluorescence parameters and free water and bound water content. The results show that the values of F

    (potential quantum efficiency of PSⅡ) of lanceolate leaves were the least on young trees, while these parameters were the least on the ovate leaves of old trees. Compared with young trees, the free water content of heteromorphic leaves of old trees increased significantly, i.e., by 78.94% in lanceolate leaves and in the leaves of broad-ovate and dentate broad-ovate by 10.99% and 10.60%, respectively. Correlation analysis showed that free water content is significantly related to F
