Dominant controls of transpiration along a hillslope transect inferred from ecohydrological measurements and thermodynamic limits

We combine ecohydrological observations of sap flow and soil moisture with thermodynamically constrained estimates of atmospheric evaporative demand to infer the dominant controls of forest transpiration in complex terrain. We hypothesize that daily variations in transpiration are dominated by varia...
