Abstract Pressure-volume curve (PV curve) technique is a major method for studying critical plant water potential and critical tissue water content when plasmolysis takes place. In the present study, a mathematical solution method is put forward to obtain parameters based on the PV curve. The calculated results for the parameters of Lolium perenne, Festuca arundinacea, Leymus chinensis and Stipa krylovii indicated that the mathematical solution method is convenient for actual research compared with the graphical method. Further analysis of the calculations suggested that drought resistance decreased in the following order: S. krylovii>F. arundinacea and L. chinensis>L. perenne.
