Abstract: To study the water uptake by Populus euphratica root is of signifi cance for the maintenance and regeneration of P. euphratica and other plants in extremely arid region. Based on the measurements at Ejina Banner, Inner Mong olia of North China, the root system distribution of P. euphratica and the s oil moisture content in P. euphratica root zone were analyzed, and a two-di mensional model of P. euphratica root water uptake was built. The mean relat ive error value between measured and simulated values was 902%, and the maximu m relative error value was 1784%, suggesting that the built model better refle cted the water uptake by P. euphratica root, being available in further stud ying the SPAC of P. euphratica.
