  • 摘要:The isotopic characteristics of plant transpired water are strongly controlled by soil evaporation process, primarily by relative humidity. The monsoon system is characterised by large variability of several atmospheric parameters; the primary one being the rainfall, which in turn, modulates the relative humidity. Due to the strong dependency of transpiration on relative humidity, it is expected that this process would vary in accordance with the active and break periods of the monsoon season, which are known to produce cycles of humid and relatively dry phases during a monsoon season. To study the transpiration process, an experiment was conducted wherein rainwater and transpired water were collected from a few plants and analyzed for their isotopic ratios during the summer monsoon seasons of 2016 and 2017. The difference between the isotopic characteristics of the transpired water and rain water is expected to be nominally positive, however, a large variability was observed. This difference is found to be high (low) during the reduced (enhanced) humidity conditions and varies in tandem with the break and active phases of the monsoon season. This characteristic feature may thus be used to delineate the dry and wet phases of monsoon on local to regional scale.
