TreeNetThe biological drought and growth indicator network
TreeNet is an (inter-) national measurement network in which individual trees represent measurement points. Site-specific physiological data from every measured tree are sent online to a central server. Microclimate and tree physiology data are processed by a plant model and the ouptut delivers continuous information about the impact of current climate conditions on tree water relations and the carbon balance of forest ecosystems. Biological indicators for drought stress and growth of trees are calculated and used to estimate the water deficit of ecosystems and its consequences for the carbon turnover. TreeNet produces the basic data needed to extrapolate research results from the eddy flux supersites Seehornwald Davos and Lägeren. TreeNet.info is the official project homepage. Check it out for more information. TreeNet offers scientific and public informations about:Tree water relations:
