Tonzi: 2001-10-10 08:30:00 (DOY 283)
Author: Nancy Kiang
Others: Jianwu Tang

Summary: Measure leaf water potentials, replace broken heaters on trees.

WHO: Nancy Kiang, Jianwu Tang (grad student in Ye Qi's lab)
WHERE: Tonzi Ranch
WHEN: Overnight at Tonzi Ranch 10/10-11/2001.
WEATHER: Mid-80's F. Uneven overcast on 10/10.
WHAT:
Measure pre-dawn leaf water potentials. Replace broken heaters on trees
245, 248, 252. Read dendrometer bands. Jianwu Tang measured soil
respiration.

Arrived ~8:30 pm PST. Clear night, ~55 F. Mild day ~80 F.

LEAF WATER POTENTIALS
Measured pre-dawn leaf water potentials starting 3:30 am PST. Tank
pressure limit was 1200 psi = -70 bar. One leaf exuded water at the limit
of -70 bar and all others showed no water at the limit, therefore we had
to assume the water potentials were at < -70 bar.

The large supply tank pressures were both down to 900 psi, therefore not
high enough pressures to read mid-day water potentials, so we did not
measure mid-day water potentials.

TZ4 SAPFLOW SYSTEM (nearest to understory tower)
Fixed heaters for trees 245, 248, 252 - these heaters were tested a long
time in the lab and the shorting problem was hopefully solved with a
coating on the base of the heater coils. Battery at 12.27 V.
