Precise stem diameter records

Diameter P DS data
  • no effect on tree growth
  • efficient tool for field measurement
  • comprises information about growth, water stress and freezing up of the stem
  • low maintenance and energy requirements in comparison with sophisticated measuring systems like sap flow for instance
  • together with the measurement of soil water potential it gives realistic picture of drought stress and the tree response to it

SDI-12 data output

  • asynchronous serial communications protocol for intelligent micro-processor based sensors
  • sensor typically takes a measurement, makes computations based on the raw sensor reading, and outputs the measured data in engineering units
  • allows connection of set of sensors serially on one cable line
