When: Date: 6/24/2010 , Day: 175 , Watch Time: 5:00 am .
Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranch
Who: Siyan, Joe
Weather: not cold in the early morning, hot, nice breeze at noon
Phenology: yellow grass, green oak leaves

Tonzi

Dead grass and trees at dawn at Tonzi

Tonzi tower at dawn

Vaira:

Vaira eddy tower in dead grass

Dead grass an dead tree west of tower at Vaira

Summary
  1. Pre-dawn leaf water potential: oak leaf= -6 bar; pin needle=-10 bar.
  2. A-Ci curves for oak and gray pine
  3. check and download data at Tower, Floor, and Vaira
  4. calibrate Li-800 in the field because bump was dead.
  5. collected samples of oak leaves and pin needles
  6. dendrometers
  7. soil moisture
  8. groundwater well:
