Arid and semiarid environments are characterized by low water availability (eg, in soil and
atmosphere), high air temperature, and irregularity in the spatio-temporal distribution of …

Global climate change presents a threat for the environment, and it is aggravated by the
mismanagement of water use in the agricultural sector. Since plants are the intermediate …

Sap flow measurements with thermometric methods are widely used to measure
transpiration in plants. Different method families exist depending on how they apply heat …

Watersheds are the basic unit of Earth's terrestrial systems and are therefore ideal units for
the study of critical zones (CZs). However, grand challenges remain regarding the …

Trees play a key role in the global hydrological cycle and measurements performed with the
thermal dissipation method (TDM) have been crucial in providing whole‐tree water‐use …

Crop evapotranspiration (ET) along with its components (canopy transpiration (T) and soil
evaporation (E)) estimates are crucial for agroecosystem hydrological process research and …

Determining changes in tree transpiration and its controlling mechanisms from regions of
natural distribution to planted introduction are significantly important for afforestation and …

Summary The 'two‐water‐worlds' hypothesis is based on stable isotope differences in
stream, soil and xylem waters in dual isotope space. It postulates no connectivity between …

Black locust accounts for over 90% of artificial forests in China's Loess Plateau region.
However, water use of black locust is an uphill challenge for this semi-arid region. To …

Understanding the relationship between trunk sap flow and tree diameter is crucial for tree-
stand transpiration upscaling and sap flow measurement strategy design, because of well …
