The velocity of a heat pulse moving through the xylem of a stem is generally not the same as the sap velocity. One can measure the sap velocity by carefully characterizing the shape of such a pulse. In much contemporary work the phase relations of sap flow are more important than the actual velocity
A microcomputer-controlled heat-pulse system for the measurement of sap velocity in trees is described. Several published methods for determining sap velocity from the temperature rise measured either above or below a heater inserted into the stem were compared and evaluated. All methods could be im
