Abstract
The water potential and the osmotic potential in plants which dominate Greek phryganic ecosystems (Phlomis fruticosa, Sarcopoterium spinosum, Gistus sp.) were measured from April to Nowember. Water potential decreased considerably reaching a minimum in September. Higher values of osmotic potential than that of water potential were found during dry period (i.e. negative values of pressure potential). This interesting fact was confirmed by artificial desiccation.Keywords
