Time Lag between Sap Flow and Climatic Factors in Arid Environments

Abstract:

Sap flow of trees was controlled by climatic variables and a time lag presents between them. In this study, Time lag between sap flow and climatic factors was analyzed for willow in the Ordos Plateau. The result shows that sap flow velocity lags behind net radiation about 110 minutes and there is almost no time lag between net radiation and sap flow velocity.
