Description :
This study was conducted to measure and examine the winter leaf conductance and transpiration rates among 10 Pinus strobus trees and investigate whether observed leaf conductance and transpiration rates are large enough to merit incorporation into existing water balance models. The fieldwork was conducted at the Fair Hill Natural Resources Management Area in north-eastern Maryland. The results suggest that winter leaf conductance of and transpiration from P. strobus trees are significant enough to incorporate into water balance calculations.
