Sap-flow measurements have become increasingly important in plant science. Since the
early experiments with dyes, many methods have been developed. Most of these are based …

Arid and semiarid environments are characterized by low water availability (eg, in soil and
atmosphere), high air temperature, and irregularity in the spatio-temporal distribution of …

Trees play a key role in the global hydrological cycle and measurements performed with the
thermal dissipation method (TDM) have been crucial in providing whole‐tree water‐use …

Cities have become increasingly interested in reducing their greenhouse gas emissions,
and increasing carbon sequestration and storage in urban vegetation and soil as part of …

The Amazon forest is integral to the global climate system in part because of the high rate of
rainfall recycling through tree transpiration and biodiversity (size and species composition) …

Field studies analyzing the stable isotope composition of xylem water are providing
important information on ecosystem water relations. However, the capacity of stable isotopes …

Understanding forest responses to the current climate change requires to investigate the
effects of competition, buffering or enhancing process of forests decline. Here we attempt to …

Snowmelt is a major source for summer soil water storage that supports tree growth in the
Mediterranean climate of the Sierra Nevada, California. The timing and magnitude of snow …

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 …

A variety of thermal approaches are used to estimate sap flux density in stems of woody
plants. Models have proved valuable tools for interpreting the behavior of heat pulse, heat …
