This study shows the relationship between C.taklimakanensis B.R.Pan et G.M.Shen and water conditions in the hinterland of the desert. The results show that: (1) Depth of water table is an important factor that affects water potential (ψp, ψA), osmotic potential (ψsat, ψtlp), relative water content (RWCtlp, ROWCtlp), and transpiration rate. (2) The degree of mineralization has a significant impact on the water potential of plants. A high degree of mineralization can strongly reduce plant productivity. (3) C. taklimakanensis B.R.Pan et G.M.Shen reduces the temperature of assimilation sticks through a high transpiration rate and maintains relatively high water content to adapt to drought and hot weather conditions in the hinterland of the desert. In addition, C. taklimakanensis B.R.Pan et G.M.Shen adapts to the water status in the desert through self-regulation or even sacrificing productivity.展开更多
