TY - T1 - The influence of soil temperature and water content on belowground hydraulic conductance and leaf gas exchange in mature trees of three boreal species SN - / UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10138/323638 T3 - A1 - Lintunen, Anna; Paljakka, Teemu Ville Santeri; Salmon, Yann; Dewar, Roderick; Riikonen, Anu; Hölttä, Teemu A2 - PB - Y1 - 2020 LA - eng AB - Understanding stomatal regulation is fundamental to predicting the impact of changing environmental conditions on vegetation. However, the influence of soil temperature (ST) and soil water content (SWC) on canopy conductance (g(s)) through changes in belowground hydraulic conductance (k(bg)) remains poorly understood, because k(bg) has seldom been measured in field conditions. Our aim was to (a) examine the dependence of k(bg) on ST and SWC, (b) examine the dependence of g(s) on k(bg) and (c) te...
