The Amazon forest is integral to the global climate system in part because of the high rate of
rainfall recycling through tree transpiration and biodiversity (size and species composition) …

The transpiration of trees plays a decisive role in the water balance of forest stands and in
water yields from forested catchments, especially an artificial forest planted for the purpose …

This study investigated the effects of thinning intensities on tree water use and growth of 50-
year-old Korean pine forests for four years. Thinning was conducted with two intensities …

In arid and semiarid regions with water shortage, forestry development is limited by water
availability. Understanding how tree sap flow responds to water stress and microclimatic …

Climate change is expected to increase regional variations in extreme weather events
including drought, which will significantly affect forest ecosystem carbon cycles. Although …

Dry regions are typically characterized by heterogeneous ecosystems where trees are
competing with the surrounding grasses for limited amount of water. In these regions …

Hydrological effects of forest thinning have been studied at small watershed scales using the
paired watershed approach since the 1920s. However, how forest transpiration, a critical …

Stand transpiration (E) estimated using the sap‐flux method includes uncertainty induced by
variations in sap flux (F) within a tree (ie radial and azimuthal variations) and those between …

Plant water use can have a profound impact on the regional water cycle and water balance.
A great deal of research has been conducted in this area in recent years. However, plant …

Key message Although spatial variations in sap flux changed seasonally in cedar trees,
neglecting these seasonal changes generally resulted in less than 10% errors in year-round …
