An improved heat pulse method to measure low and reverse rates of sap flow in woody plants.
TLDR
An improved heat pulse method, termed the heat ratio method (HRM), is presented, to measure low and reverse rates of sap flow in woody plants, which has several important advantages over the CHPM, including improved measurement range and resolution.

The redistribution of soil water by tree root systems
TLDR
It is suggested that “hydraulic redistribution” of water in tree roots is significant in maintaining root viability, facilitating root growth in dry soils and modifying resource availability.

Biophysical interactions in tropical agroforestry systems
TLDR
Future research on biophysical interactions should concentrate on exploiting the diversity that exists within and between species of trees, determining interactions between systems at different spatial and temporal scales, and improving understanding of belowground interactions.

Reverse flow of sap in tree roots and downward siphoning of water by Grevillea robusta
TLDR
Constant-power heat-balance sap flow gauges were used to compare sap flow in vertical and lateral roots of Grevillea robusta trees growing without access to ground water at a semiarid site in Kenya, finding downward siphoning may enhance the competitiveness of deep-rooted perennials.
