ABSTRACT
Sap flow pattern of Tectona grandis
planted at lowland forest assessed. This study aimed to determine
the sap movement of two different diameter sizes T. grandis.
Two sizes selected were 16 and 38 cm in diameter at breast height
(dbh). Sap flow meter (SFM) used to assess the sap velocity rates at the interval
of 30 min within 24 h for 15 days. Diurnal sap flow of T. grandis
shows that mean velocity is high during day time compared night
time. Small diameter has high sap flow compared to that of bigger
diameter. A flow rates was high at the inner layer and less at outer
layer for smaller tree. The variation was vice versa when the tree
was getting bigger. Variations in sap flow of T. grandis characterized
by several environmental factors. It was found that size contribute
in the differed sap flow of T. grandis.

ABSTRAK
Kajian telah dilakukan terhadap corak
aliran sap bagi Tectona grandis yang ditanam di hutan tanah
rendah. Tujuan kajian ini ialah untuk menentukan pergerakan sap
bagi dua diameter dirian pokok T. grandis yang berbeza. Dua
saiz yang dipilih adalah 16 dan 38 cm diameter pada paras dada (ppd).
Alat pengesan aliran sap (Sap flow meter - SFM) digunakan untuk menilai kadar
halaju sap pada selang 30 minit dalam tempoh 24 jam selama 15 hari.
Purata aliran siang malam oleh T. grandis menunjukkan bahawa
halaju purata adalah tinggi pada waktu siang berbanding waktu malam.
Saiz diameter yang kecil mempunyai aliran sap yang lebih tinggi
berbanding dengan diameter yang besar. Bagi saiz diameter pokok
yang kecil, kadar aliran sap adalah tinggi di lapisan dalaman berbanding
lapisan luar. Corak perbezaan ini akan menjadi sebaliknya apabila
saiz pokok tersebut semakin besar. Variasi dalam aliran sap T.
grandis dicirikan oleh beberapa faktor persekitaran. Penemuan
mendapati bahawa saiz diameter pokok menyumbang kepada perbezaan
aliran sap pada T. grandis.
