Abstract: Soil drying has occurred widely in artificial plantations in the semiarid loess region because the water consumption exceeds the rainfall. Jujube (Ziziphus jujube Mill. CV. Lizao) plantations have been planted to improve the economic income since 2000. In order to prevent soil drying and sustain artificial plantation development, we examined the relationships between the canopy size, water consumption, and water use efficiency in a dry land jujube plantation.
