To reveal relationship between water content of plant tissue and soil moisture in the hinterland of Taklimakan desert in China's southern Xinjiang, Haloxylon ammodendron and Nitraria sibirica were selected, and the water potential and content in the tissues of two plants under drought stress were determined. The results were shown that: (1) water potential in the morning and the water content in the tissues of Haloxylon ammodendron and Nitraria sibirica decreased with the decline of soil moisture content. (2) When the soil water stress appeared, the water potential values of Haloxylon ammodendron and Nitraria sibirica were -4.47 MPa and -5.88 MPa, respectively. (3) The lower limits of soil moisture contents that were suitable for the growth of Haloxylon ammodendron and Nitraria sibirica were 2.50% and 3.00%, respectively.

Radial increment was studied in natural forest trees in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, and in mangrove trees in Thailand and on Iriomote Island (Japan). Nails were driven into the trunk at breast height. Barrier zones fonned in response were located after felling of the tree, and the amount of wood fonned subsequent to nailing was measured. Thanks to the distinctness of the cambial response to nailing, this method appears very effective for measuring radial increment in tropical trees. The following results were obtained:

Water relations, stem girth, and crown vigour were measured in jarrah (Eucalyptusmarginata Donn ex Sm.) trees in adjoining areas of healthy and dieback-affected forest. The soil-borne fungus Phytophthoracinnamomi Rands was recovered from soils in the dieback areas, but not from neighbouring healthy forest. Trees on dieback sites were found to be more water stressed (with lower dawn water potentials and daytime stomatal conductances) than healthy trees on nearby areas free of P. cinnamomi. Severe water stress usually preceded crown deaths by several weeks to months. Dawn water potential and midday stomatal conductance were the most useful nondestructive indicators of dieback severity in declining trees. Subjective assessment of crown form was slightly less reliable than water relations as a separator of dieback and healthy trees. Changes in trunk girth were the least sensitive indicators of dieback severity. Midday stomatal conductance is recommended as a useful tool for monitoring short-term changes in vigour of dieback-affected trees.

<p>A dry-field (tegalan) is one of the subsystems of classical agroforestry, where there is no intensive management of both the spacing and the selection of the type that is considered. Dry-field (tegalan) agroforestry subsystems have a state that resembles natural forest ecosystems. It became an opportunity execution of research related to the stands composition of dry-field (tegalan) and forest nature. The purpose of this study is to determine the pattern of developing agroforestry in Bulu and the relation of the natural forest. This research was conducted in Bulu-Giripurwo Village, Girimulyo District, Kulonprogo. Data was collected at 36 sample plots representing 3 strata. The first stratum had an area of &lt; 1000 m2, the second 1,000 m2–2,000 m2, and the third &gt; 2,000 m2. K-Means Cluster Analysis and exponential equation modeling was used to analyze the dry-field (tegalan). The results of this study indicate that there were three models of management of cultivated land in Bulu; the Mixed Model, Model MPTS dominant plants, and forest trees dominant model. Mixed models had the stand equation Y = 3.39 x 2.7128-0,026X with an R2 of 0.798. The dominant MPTS plan models had the stand equation 3,155 x 2.7128-0,021X with an R2 of 0.770. The dominant of forest trees models has stands equation Y = 3.182 x 2.7128-0,024X with R2 of 0.706. These results demonstrate agroforestry modeling subsystem dry-field (tegalan) has characteristics resembling natural forest indicated from the value of R2 that characterized so close with the equation of uneven-aged forest model.</p><p><br /><strong>Keywords</strong>: Agroforestry, dry-field (tegalan), natural forest</p>
