The paper deals with the resaturation of water saturation deficit in fourStipa species tested under various ecological conditions. Attention is paid to the relations between the saturation and oversaturation types of curves, on the one hand, and soil moisture on the other. The oversaturation type appears in plants well supplied with soil moisture. The explanation of this phenomenon is discussed.
