Seasonal dynamics of sap flow in the stems of two Siberian larch trees (Larix sibirica Ledeb.) with different radial growth rates were analyzed. The trees grew nearby Pogorelsky Bor research station of Institute of Forest, SB RAS (Krasnoyarsk forest-steppe, 56.36°N, 92.95°E). Intensity of stem sap flow was measured continuously during the vegetation seasons of 2014 and 2015 using the tissue heat balance (THB) method on two individual trees of the same age and height that grew three meters apart and differed in stem diameter (DBH) only. Seasonal dynamics of sap flow intensity of these trees were synchronous (R = 0.77-0.94) within the common vegetation period while the absolute diurnal values differed considerably. The eco-physiological BS-model verified by the data of sap flow measurements allowed to calculate daily and seasonal transpiration dynamics. Seasonal dynamics of sap flow intensity per tree and transpiration per day, and vapor pressure deficit (VPD) as well as seasonal precipitation during the vegetation period were all synchronous. Soil moisture, however, did not show clear correlation with these parameters, thus it may be concluded that it is VPD, but not soil moisture that is the main factor responsible for sap flow intensity in the observed vegetation conditions. The data obtained from the seasons of 2014 and 2015 suggest that continuous automatic measurements of sap flow intensity allow to study phenocycles in trees with various growth rates as well as to determine very precisely the start and the end of their vegetation season.
