When: Date: 9/7/2009 , Day: 250 , Watch Time: 5:00 .
Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranch
Who: Siyan
Weather: hot
Phenology: yellow grass, green oak leaves, see acorns, cows at Vaira

Tonzi

A bright moon

Oak acorns #92

Full moon at dawn above oak trees

Oak leaves and acorns on a branch

Vaira:

A lot of cows


Cows gathered under the big oak tree

Summary
  1. Pre-dawn leaf water potential: oak leaf= -30 bar; pin needle=-13 bar.
  2. A-Ci curves for oak and gray pine
  3. check and download data at Tower, Floor, and Vaira
  4. swap Li-7500 at Tower, Vaira (Floor site was done on Aug. 27, 2009 with the two visitors: Catarina Meuna; Andrews Latimer)
  5. collected samples of oak leaves and pin needles
  6. dendrometers
  7. soil moisture
  8. groundwater well:
