Journal ArticleDOI
Canopy transpiration and water fluxes in the xylem of the trunk of Larix and Picea trees - a comparison of xylem flow, porometer and cuvette measurements
Ernst Detlef Schulze,Jan Cermak,M. Matyssek,M. Penka,Reiner Zimmermann,F. Vasícek,W. Gries,J. Kucera +7 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the daily water balance of intact, naturally growing, adult Larix and Picea trees without major injury found that plant water status recovers with the decrease of transpiration and the refilling of the water storage sites.
Book ChapterDOI
Measurement of transpiration and leaf conductance
TL;DR: In this article, the principles and instruments necessary for measurement of leaf transpiration and the calculation of leaf conductances to water vapor exchange are discussed, as well as the methodology and problems involved in determining whole-plant and canopy transpiration rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating photosynthetic rate and annual carbon gain in conifers from specific leaf weight and leaf biomass.
TL;DR: The possibility of using specific leaf weight to predict seasonal and annual net photosynthetic rate in deciduous and evergreen conifers and a combined structural index could, when calibrated, predict the total annual carbon uptake by different parts of the crown.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variability in Springtime Thaw in the Terrestrial High Latitudes: Monitoring a Major Control on the Biospheric Assimilation of Atmospheric CO2 with Spaceborne Microwave Remote Sensing
TL;DR: The timing of seasonal thawing and subsequent initiation of the growing season in early spring has advanced by approximately 8 days from 1988 to 2001 for the pan-Arctic basin and Alaska as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and Evaluation of a Multi-Year Fractional Surface Water Data Set Derived from Active/Passive Microwave Remote Sensing Data
Ronny Schroeder,Kyle C. McDonald,Bruce Chapman,Katherine Jensen,Erika Podest,Z. D. Tessler,Theodore J. Bohn,Reiner Zimmermann +7 more
TL;DR: A microwave satellite-based approach for mapping fractional surface water (FW) globally at 25-km resolution, SWAMPS provides a consistent and long-term global record of daily FW dynamics, with documented accuracies suitable for hydrologic assessment and global change-related investigations.
