Impacting Factors of Changes in Dynamic Viscosity and Interfacial Tension of Wood Xylem Sap
The growth of trees is inseparable from the water transpiration in the xylem. To explore the mechanism of sap rising in the xylem, the monthly variation of the dynamic viscosity and interfacial tension of the xylem sap of different tree species and their impacting factors were analyzed.

| description | The growth of trees is inseparable from the water transpiration in the xylem. To explore the mechanism of sap rising in the xylem, the monthly variation of the dynamic viscosity and interfacial tension of the xylem sap of different tree species and their impacting factors were analyzed. In this experiment, the dynamic viscosity and interfacial tension of the xylem sap of poplar and metasequoia were measured within one year, as well as the sap velocity of poplar. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry and atomic absorption spectroscopy were used to detect the organic components and inorganic cations of the xylem sap of poplar and metasequoia. By analyzing the influence of organic components and the inorganic cation concentration of xylem sap on the dynamic viscosity and interfacial tension of xylem sap, this study revealed that the dynamic viscosity and the interfacial tension of poplar and metasequoia samples in different months changed in basically the same manner. However, the dynamic viscosity and the interfacial tension of the metasequoia samples were generally higher than those of the poplar samples. The dynamic viscosity of the xylem sap had an obvious exponential relationship with temperature, while the interfacial tension of the xylem sap had an inconspicuous linear relationship with temperature. In addition, disparate xylem structures of the broad-leaved tree poplar and the coniferous tree metasequoia led to different concentrations of organic components and inorganic cations in their xylem sap, which made a difference in the dynamic viscosity and interfacial tension between poplar and metasequoia samples. |
