Very nice new open-access paper by Zhechen Zhang et al.
hess.copernicus.org/articles/29/...

Revealing seasonal plasticity of whole-plant hydraulic properties using sap-flow and stem water-potential monitoring

Abstract. Plant hydraulic properties are critical to predicting vegetation water use as part of land–atmosphere interactions and plant responses to drought. However, current measurements of plant hydr...
