Soil water potential determines the presence of hydraulic lift of Populus euphratica Olivier across growing seasons in an arid desert region

Hydraulic lift (HL) of deep-rooted plants is a water adaptation phenomenon to extreme drought conditions which would subsequently improve the survival of shallow-rooted plants in an arid desert area. There is an ongoing debate on whether the difference in water potential between plant roots and soil...
