Abstract:

Preliminary results of a comprehensive study of hydraulic fluctuations in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) stems in response to plant water status and environment are presented. Diurnal changes in stem circumference near DBH of a dominant Douglas-fir were monitored using automated band dendrometers. Measurements of transpiration rate, internal moisture stress and stomata...
