摘要: At maturity, both overstorey and understorey foliage projective covers (FPC) tend to reach steady‐state values which are correlated with the evaporative coefficient (k) in water balance equation of soil‐plant‐atmosphere continuum. Overstorey FPCs mature communities increase linearly from 20 85% along moisture gradient arid humid regions. Understorey relatively constant same gradient, increasing only slightly 40 47%. Plant have different norm, appear show a compensatory decrease or FPC so that sum is equal predicted for region.
