| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A heat flux sensor was attached to trunks of conifers and broad-leaved trees, and the data were accumulated for a few month. The heat flux data were compared with those of sap flow meter attached to the same trees. Heat flux data indicated similar fluctuation with various species of trees. During fine daytime, heat flows from atmosphere to the inside of tree stems. The direction was revers during nights when transpiration stops. Sap flow meters commonly used in the physiological investigations use metal rods that are stubbed into trunks and heat is continuously added to the metal rods to detect the movement of water. Wound and heating will affect the physiological condition of the trees. In contrast, the heat flux sensor that is attached to the surface of trunks without wounding and heating will be a better tool for long-term monitoring.
