Sap Flow Dynamics in Tree Species
摘要
The present study highlighted the multiple approaches applied for quantifying sap flow over the past year and their evolution, limitations, and contributions. Here, we represent the studies conducted on various tree species globally. The main focus is on tree species from the Agri-Horti and Forestry backgrounds. We discussed the response of sap flow to varying environmental changes. Besides this, we analyzed the effects of different morpho-physio factors on sap flow rate, diurnally and seasonally, to understand the plant-water relations. This chapter would be beneficial for studying the behavior of different trees under particular climatic conditions, and such studies will help assess their better adaptability in available water, framing plantation strategies, and irrigation scheduling.
