Branch, crown, tree and stand water flux in an 180-year-old loblolly pine plantation after thinning, fertilization, and throughfall exclusion treatments
Branch and tree sap flux density (SFD) was measured to evaluate the effects of thinning, fertilization, and throughfall exclusion treatments on water use by loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) trees. Variations in SFD at different radial xylem depths were also examined to improve estimates of tree water …
