Stem water storage and diurnal patterns of water use in tropical forest canopy trees

TL;DR: Stem water storage capacity and diurnal patterns of water use were studied in five canopy trees of a seasonal tropical forest in Panama as mentioned in this paper, where Sap flow was measured simultaneously at the top and at the base of each tree using constant energy input thermal probes inserted in the sapwood.
Journal ArticleDOI

Potential errors in measurement of nonuniform sap flow using heat dissipation probes

TL;DR: The empirical calibration of Granier-type heat dissipation sap flow probes that relate temperature difference (DeltaT) to sap velocity (v) was reevaluated in stems of three tropical tree species and errors increased as v and the proportion of the probe in nonconducting wood increased.
Journal ArticleDOI

Partitioning of soil water among canopy trees in a seasonally dry tropical forest

TL;DR: Comparison of xylem, soil, and groundwater δD values pointed to spatial and temporal partitioning of water resources among several tropical forest canopy tree species during the 1997 dry season, which was associated with leaf phenology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of water flux through tropical forest canopy trees: do universal rules apply?

TL;DR: The shared relationship between tree size and time of maximum sap flow at the base of the tree suggests that a common relationship between diurnal stem water storage capacity and tree size existed, consistent with a recent hypothesis that allometric scaling of plant vascular systems, and therefore water use, is universal.
Journal ArticleDOI

A roadmap for research on crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) to enhance sustainable food and bioenergy production in a hotter, drier world.

TL;DR: To exploit the potential of CAM crops and CAM bioengineering, it will be necessary to elucidate the evolution, genomic features, and regulatory mechanisms of CAM, which has potential for high returns on research investment.
