Description

Continuous measurement of tree water transport using thermal dissipation sensors with temperature measurements at multiple depths in sapwood to calculate sap velocity via heat pulse methodology.

Typical Equipment

  • sap velocity sensors manufactured by ICT International
  • drill guide
  • thermistors
  • solar panels

Output Measurements

  • sap velocity
  • transpiration rates
