Accurate measurement of plant transpiration is critical to gaining a better understanding of
plant water use and exploration of the influence of plants on regional and even global …

Deep rooting is considered a central drought-mitigation trait with vast impact on ecosystem
water cycling. Despite its importance, little is known about the overall quantitative water use …

Introduction Automated plant-based measurements of water stress have the potential to
advance precision irrigation in orchard crops. Previous studies have shown correlations …

Quantifying evapotranspiration (ET) is critical to accurately predict vegetation health,
groundwater recharge, and streamflow generation. Hillslope aspect, the direction a hillslope …

The microclimate within forest stands might change rapidly in space and time due to the
complex three-dimensional structure of forests. We are nowadays able to map the structure …

Transpiration is a fundamental biophysical process, directly measured in plants by dividing
sap flow by total leaf area. Under non-limiting conditions, transpiration and reference …

Sapwood characteristics, such as sapwood area as well as thermal and hydraulic
conductivity, are linked to species-specific hydraulic function and resource allocation to …

Beneficial and negative effects of species interactions can strongly influence water fluxes in
forest ecosystems. However, little is known about how trees dynamically adjust their water …

Accurate estimation of transpiration in individual trees is important for understanding plant
responses to environmental drivers, closing the water balance in forest stands and …

Flash droughts differ from traditionally defined droughts in their rapidity of intensification and
often associated high vapor-pressure deficit. These droughts can lead to declines in …
