Going with the flow: is
tree water use affected
by nutrient availability?
Arianna Libenson
Mentors:Alex Rice, Mariann Johnston
and RuthYanai
1.Determine if the addition of N, P, or Ca has any
impact on sap flux in hardwood trees.
2.Compare sap flux amongst species of red
maple, sugar maple, and white birch.
Objectives
Experimental Design
• HB mid, 9 trees per plot, 3 per species
• Granier method
Previous Results
• Are we unable to detect a treatment effect due to
extreme tree-to-tree variability???
Con N P NP Ca
Daily Sum of Sap Flux
SapFlux(gH2O/m2sapwood/day)
Treatment
• C8
• 2017
• 1 observation point
per tree
Graph byAlex Rice
This year…
• Covariates: diameter at crown base (DCB) and DBH
• HB Ca plot, last wollastonite addition in 2015
• Better drilling!!!
• Does anyone want to help move batteries into our HB plots?!
