Understory

In forests where the overstory canopy has been disturbed, evapotranspiration (ET) by the understory may be the main flux of water back to the atmosphere. The ability to take field measurements of water use by understory plants, therefore, is vital for a complete ecosystem water budget. However, little research has been apportioned to directly measuring understory water use, and the technology to do so is thus limited. Portable ET chambers have been used to measure ET rates in agricultural fields, grasslands, and deserts, but not in a forest understory. Thus, a portable rapid chamber which can ...
