| doc-title | Photosynthetic gas exchange, growth and biomass allocation of two Eucalyptus and three indigenous tree species of Ethiopia under moisture deficit |
| quote | All species [of trees in this experiment in Ethiopia] had comparable biomass production under sufficient water or mild water deficit. However, the eucalypts produced more biomass than the deciduous species under severe water deficit. ... Water losses from [indigenous] C. macrostachyus and C. africana leaves were about 2–3 times those of E. camaldulensis and E. [Eucalyptus] globulus across all the treatments. |
