Under certain environmental conditions, nocturnal transpiration can be relatively high in temperate and tropical woody species. We have previously shown that nocturnal sap flow accounts for up to 28% of total daily transpiration in woody species growing in a nutrient-poor Brazilian Cerrado ecosystem. In the present study, we assessed the effect of increased nutrient supply on nocturnal transpir...

Papers published in Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Discussions are under open-access review for the journal Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Abstract Stand transpiration was measured during the 2003 and 2004 growing seasons using heat dissipation sap flow sensors in a Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and a pubescent oak (Quercus pubescens Willd.) forest located in a montane area of the ...

transpiration, as one of the components of hydrological cycle, has not been paid enough attention yet, while it is necessary for sound utilization of rangelands, mostly located in the arid and semiarid regions. the comparison of the different kinds of rangelands species in terms of transpiration rates provides range managers the required information to achieve optimal forage production for a gi...

This work concerns the simulation of a homogenized streamwise periodic boundary layer which reduces computational cost direct numerical simulations incompressible flat plate turbulent layers. It expands upon understanding how transpiration velocity changes dependent on whether blending function is used to account for inner and outer self-similar scaling effects. With this rescaling correction, ...

When stressed by low soil water content (SWC) or high vapor pressure deficit (VPD), plants close stomata, reducing transpiration and photosynthesis. However, it has historically been difficult to disentangle the magnitudes of VPD compared to SWC limitations on ecosystem-scale fluxes. We used a 13 year record of eddy covariance measurements from a forest in south central Indiana, USA, to quantif...

Previous studies suggest that the radiative effects of atmospheric aerosols (reducing total radiation while increasing the diffuse fraction) can enhance terrestrial productivity. Here, simulations using a regional climate/terrestrial biosphere model suggest that atmospheric aerosols could also enhance terrestrial photosynthesis and transpiration through an interaction between solar radiation, l...

reduced differental transform method (rdtm), which isone of the useful and effective numerical method, is applied to solve nonlinear time-dependent foam drainage equation (fde) with different initial conditions. we compare our method with the famous adomian decomposition and laplace decomposition methods. the obtained resultsdemonstrated that rdtm is a powerful tool for solving nonlinear par...

We investigated the assumption, necessary for comparison between bottom-up scaling of plot level fluxes to top-down scaling of regional models, that small plots of sap flux are representative of the transpiration component of regional land-surface atmosphere water vapor interactions. We conducted sap flux measurements in three stands dominated by sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) representing...
