Canopy stomatal conductance following drought, disturbance and death in an upland oak/pine forest of the New Jersey Pine Barrens, USA

Stomatal conductance controls carbon and water fluxes in forest ecosystems. Therefore, its accurate characterization in land surface flux models is necessary. Sap-flux scaled canopy conductance was used to evaluate the effect of drought, disturbance and mortality of three oak species (Quercus prinu...
