In the present study, photosynthetic traits and chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence parameters of Populus sibirica grown under different irrigation regimes were investigated to estimate seedling growth and vitality for reforestation of a desertification area. According to our results, photosynthesis and Chl fluorescence were significantly affected by water deficit only under severe drought conditions.

Keywords: land degradation; maximum quantum yield of PSII photochemistry; nonstomatal limitation; stomatal limitation
