Ten healthy tree species with regular management were selected on the campus of Beijing Forestry University, and they belong to tall tree, shrub and liana, respectively. Water potential and hydraulic architecture parameters of one-year-old twigs were measured in sunny day in the last ten days of March to the middle ten days of May in 2002. The results show that the daily change in water potential of tree species examined appears convex, i.e. the water potential is higher in the morning and evening, and lower in the midday. The change trend of water potential is consistent among different months. The seasonal change trend of water potential appears lower in March than that in April and May. There is a similar relationship between the daily change trend of water potential and special conductivity in spring, i.e. the higher the water potential, the higher the special conductivity, but this trend of change is not entirely synchronic. The seasonal change of special conductivity of conifer species is not obvious, and special conductivity of broad-leaved tree, shrub and liana is larger than that of conifer. Likewise, the change trend appears basically the same. Generally, special conductivity in May is higher than that in March.
