Stem flow and porometer measurements of transpiration from honey mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa)
The objective of this study was to compare stem flow and porometer methods of measuring transpiration of honey mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa) trees on a semiarid site. Stem flow was measured using heat balance stem flow gauges. Porometer measurements of leaf stomatal conductance (gs) were made within foliage layers of each stem and scaled to transpiration values for the entire stem (Estern) usi...
متن کاملSeedling Growth of Two Honey Mesquite Varieties Under CO2 Enrichment
Seedlings of 2 varieties of honey mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa var. glandulosa and P. glandulosa var. torreyana) were exposed to 2 concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) (368 and 704 lmol mol ) in environmentally controlled glasshouses under near-optimal temperature and soil water conditions to determine if CO2 enrichment alters aboveand belowground growth responses. CO2 enrichment...
متن کاملCarbon dioxide enrichment improves growth, water relations and survival of droughted honey mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa) seedlings.
Low water availability reduces the establishment of the invasive shrub Prosopis on some grasslands. Water deficit survival and traits that may contribute to the postponement or tolerance of plant dehydration were measured on seedlings of P. glandulosa Torr. var. glandulosa (honey mesquite) grown at CO(2) concentrations of 370 (ambient), 710, and 1050 micro mol mol(-1). Because elevated CO(2) de...
متن کاملKinetic Measurements Using Flow Tubes
This paper is a selective survey of the chemical kinetic literature involving flow tube measurements of elementary reaction rate constants. It describes the origins of the flow tube method, the experimental technique, the measurement of rate constants, and an analysis of the inherent errors. Emphasis is placed on the discussion of the strengths and limitations of the method as a source of kinet...
متن کاملThermal Transpiration Flow in Annular Microchannels
Thermal transpiration flows of rarefied gases in annular channels are considered, where the driving force for the flow is a temperature gradient applied in the channel walls. The influence of gas rarefaction, aspect ratio of the annulus, and surface accommodation coefficient on mass and heat transfer in the process are investigated. For this, the linearized Navier– Stokes–Fourier (NSF) and regu...
