✦ Synopsis


Relative water content (RWC) ofZea mays L. was depressed by both an increase in vapour pressure deficit (VPD) or by a decrease in soil matric potential (,I,r). When ~I, r = -1.5 bat an increase of 80 mbat in VPD depressed the RWC by 30%: indicating that, with flood irrigation, it may be difficult to completely eliminate water stress in crops grown in semi-arid regions.

## Abstract __Sphagnum__ mosses contribute to the long‐term carbon sequestration of many northern peatlands. Variability in both __Sphagnum__ and peatland CO~2~ exchange is strongly influenced by water availability, but there is limited work examining the links between these relationships, particul
