Sap Flow at Night in the Stems of Ailanthus Altissima and Its Determinants
【Background and objective】 Water ascent in plants is driven by hydraulic gradient regulated by stomatal opening and closure as well as soil water content; it is generally assumed to be approximately zero at night.

Sap flow study on two different diameter sizes of Tectona grandis [PDF]
Sap flow pattern of Tectona grandis planted at lowland forest assessed. This study aimed to determine the sap movement of two different diameter sizes T. grandis. Two sizes selected were 16 and 38 cm in diameter at breast height (dbh).

Linking Sap Flow Measurements with Earth Observations [PDF]
While single-tree transpiration is challenging to compare with earth observation, canopy scale data are suitable for this purpose. To test the potentialities of the second approach, we equipped the trees at two measurement sites with sap flow sensors in spruce forests. The sites have contrasting topography.

On the air permeability of Populus pit [PDF]
Sap hydrodynamics in vascular cells of trees seems to be controlled by small membranes called pits. Understanding how the pit junctions regulate the sap flow and stop embolism by cavitation is today a challenging issue.

Sap flow and sugar transport in plants [PDF]
Green plants are Earth’s primary solar energy collectors. They harvest the energy of the Sun by converting light energy into chemical energy stored in the bonds of sugar molecules. A multitude of carefully orchestrated transport processes are needed to move water and minerals from the soil to sites of photosynthesis and to distribute energy-rich sugars

Global transpiration data from sap flow measurements: the SAPFLUXNET database [PDF]
Abstract. Plant transpiration links physiological responses of vegetation to water supply and demand with hydrological, energy and carbon budgets at the land-atmosphere interface. However, despite being the main land evaporative flux at the global scale, transpiration and its response to environmental drivers are currently not well constrained by ...

A Mariotte-based verification system for heat-based sap flow sensors [PDF]
Determination of the accuracy of commonly used techniques for measuring sap flux density in trees often presents a challenge. We therefore designed and built a verification system for heat-based sap flow sensors typically used at stem level.
