One recent example is a publication by Han and colleagues. In this paper, the nam...

A unified nomenclature for use in heat pulse measurement of sap flow is proposed. This unified nomenclature overcomes fundamental misunderstandings of the physics of heat and sap movement in wood. The nomenclature is also appropriate to other methodologies for sap flow measurement, such as heat balance methods.
