Water relations in woody species are intimately related to xylem hydraulic properties. High CO2 concentrations ([CO2]) generally decrease transpiration and stomatal conductance (g(s)), but there is little information about the effect of atmospheric [CO2] on xylem hydraulic properties. To determine the relationship between water flow and hydraulic structure at high [CO2], we investigated responses of sun and shade leaves of 4-year-old saplings of diffuse-porous Betula max-imowicziana Regel and ring-porous Quercus mongolica Fisch. ex Ledeb. ssp. crispula (Blume) Menitsky grown on fertile brown forest soil or infertile volcanic ash soil and exposed to 500 mu mol CO2 mol(-1) for 3 years. Regardless of species and soil type, elevated [CO2] consistently decreased water flow (i.e., g(s) and leaf-specific hydraulic conductivity) and total vessel area of the petiole in sun leaves; however, it had no effect on these parameters in shade leaves, perhaps because g, of shade leaves was already low. Changes in water flow at elevated [CO2] were associated with changes in petiole hydraulic properties.
