By analyzing characteristics of the main physiological indexes, such as chlorophyll, soluble sugar, proline (Pro), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismu- tase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), C3-gibberellins (GA3) and abscisic acid (ABA), at different sections with different water tables in the lower reaches of Tarim River, it has been found that these physiological indexes have close correlations with water tables. In addition, the rational ecological, coercing and critical water tables of T. ramosissima are 2-4 m, 6 m and 10 m, respectively, which pro- vides an important theoretical basis for the ecological conservation of extremely arid regions.展开更多
