The Unstable Relationship Between Drought Status and Leaf Water Content Complicates the Remote Sensing of Tree Drought Stress. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolRemote sensing can monitor plant drought stress across ecosystems but is limited by uncertain links between physiological stress and measurements of water content. We examined how water potential and water content, measured in the field, laboratory, and via airborne imaging, vary over time and space in two oak species.
