- Sap flow measurements with some thermodynamic methods, flow integration within trees and scaling up from sample trees to entire forest stands (2004, background): “This includes basipetal flows (Kunia 1955; McNabb and Hart 1962; Daum 1967) which occur, e.g. during rain events after periods of drought when shoots are absorbing intercepted water (Katz et al. 1989) or reversed flow in general (Sakuratani et al. 1999; Burgess et al. 2001; Brooks et al. 2002).”
- A review of approaches for evapotranspiration partitioning (2014, methodology): “The heat ratio method (HRM; Burgess et al., 2001) is similar to CHPV but uses the ratio of temperature increase between different points up and downstream from the heater to measure flow, allowing for measurement of low and even reverse flow (Er-Raki et al.”
- Life in the treetops: ecophysiological strategies of canopy epiphytes in a tropical montane cloud forest (2015, methodology): “Corrections are needed to determine sap flow velocity from heat pulse velocity in small stems since the heat pulse diffuses through nonconductive materials (i.e., bark, phloem, and pith) as well as through xylem (Burgess et al. 2001, Clearwater et al. 2009).”
- The effect of deficit irrigation on seasonal variations of plant water use in Olea europaea L. (2005, background): “…heat-pulse technique does not distinguish low-flow from no-flow conditions, because of the inherent inaccuracy associated with integrating nightly sapflow measurement (Burgess et al., 2001), all night-time sap flow velocities below the limit of detection were set to zero (Smith and Allen, 1996).”
