Sap flow measurements

© Thünen-Institut / Marco Natkhin
Sap flow meter installations on the trunk show us how trees use the water they absorb. We have equipped trees with special measuring devices for this purpose. Under the link to the Treewtach/Thuenen page, you can visit a tree on our measuring area and follow the shrinking and swelling movements caused by water transport. This allows us to collect information on the reaction of trees to extreme drought, very high temperatures or heavy rainfall events.
