Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal patterns of leaf water relations in four co-occurring forest tree species: Parameters from pressure-volume curves
TL;DR: The results of this study showed that the water potential-water content relationship represents a dynamic mechanism by which plant internal water relations may vary in response to a changing external water-availability regime.
Journal ArticleDOI
Components of water potential estimated from xylem pressure measurements in five tree species
TL;DR: In all species the trends from summer to fall were toward lower (more negative) osmotic potentials, lower matric potentials more rapid loss of turgor with increasing leaf water deficits, and the occurrence of incipient plasmolysis at lower values of leaf water deficit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solar radiation variability on the floor of a pine plantation

TL;DR: In this article, measurements of global radiation were made above and below the canopy of a pine plantation during eight consecutive cloudless days and several analyses were made of the variation in time and space in global radiation reaching the forest floor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal variation of leaf tissue elasticity in four forest tree species
TL;DR: Although the values of the elastic modulus reported here agree in magnitude with values reported in general for higher plant tissue, the functional dependency of the apparent elasticity on tissue water status was more complex in this study than can be accounted for by current models.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evaporation of intercepted rainfall from a forest stand: An analysis by simulation
TL;DR: In this paper, a model of the energy exchange between the atmosphere and a vegetated surface has been developed and used to investigate the sources of energy available for evaporation of precipitation intercepted by a forest canopy.
