Biological and environmental controls on tree transpiration in a suburban landscape (2010, background): “Although relatively few studies express tree transpiration on a per unit canopy area basis, Catovsky et al. [2002] found that hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) trees had lower annual transpiration per unit canopy area than did deciduous broadleaf species in a northeastern USA forest.”
Biological constraints on water transport in the soil–plant–atmosphere system (2013, background): “This is the case of deciduous species from temperate forests, which transpire and photosynthesize more (per unit ground or canopy area) than conifers at the same site, but over a shorter growing season [130,131].”
Lianas Have a Greater Competitive Effect Than Trees of Similar Biomass on Tropical Canopy Trees (2012, unknown): “Since water transport to the canopy is strongly linked to whole-tree carbon uptake (Catovsky et al. 2002), canopy trees competing with lianas may be at a disadvantage in terms of carbon gain.”
