| Abstract | This study aims at comparing the carbon storage ability of Monastery bamboo (Thyrsostachys siamensis Gamble) andPai Liang (Dendrocalamus membranaceus ? Thyrsostachys siamensis) in terms of the different physiological responses tothe microclimate. The stomatal conductance, leaf-to-air vapor pressure deficit (LAVPD), chlorophyll content, and water useefficiency (WUE) were measured. Pai Liang had a greater dry biomass per culm than Monastery bamboo, resulting in morecarbon storage. Monastery bamboo kept opening its stomata even when LAVPD increased, resulting in the loss of more waterand a lower WUE leading to a lower rate of growth and carbon storage. Pai Liang contained higher amount of carbon andnitrogen in the leaf tissue, indicating a better WUE. With regards to the climate change, Pai Liang is recommended owing to agreater carbon fixation and more rapid growth rate compared to the Monastery bamboo. |
