The relationship between photosythesis and respiration of Phyllostachys heterocycle cv. Pubescens and environmental factors was studied. The results were as follows: The photosynthetic rate(Pn) was most significantly corelated to Light (L) and temperature(T) and the regressive equation could be used as a model to estimate the photosynthetic rate. The daily Pn and respiration rate were significantly corelated to air temperature and they could be estimated by regressive equations. The estimated annual photosynthetic amount and respiration amount were 1.81×104 and 2.00×104 mg CO 2 dm-1.a-1, respectively.
