Analysis of Hydraulic Conductance Components in Field Grown, Mature Sweet Cherry Trees
As a necessary step towards understanding soil water extraction and plant water relationships, the components of hydraulic conductance (K) of mature sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) trees were evaluated in situ based on a Ohm’s law analog method. In June 2004, K was determined for 10-yr-old...
