| Description: | Abstract: Tree water use is a key variable in forest eco-hydrological studies and often monitored by sap flow measurements. One current challenge in the scaling of sap flow from the tree to the forest stand is related to the spatio-temporal heterogeneity of soil water supply. Little is known about the water-stress-response of forest trees. This study aims at a better understanding and quantification of the water stress response of Norway spruce (Picea abies). We combine root-zone water potential simulations in HYDRUS 1-D with a plant water stress factor derived from sap flow measurements at three plots of differing soil moisture regimes. By calibrating HYDRUS 1-D against our sap flow data, we quantify species-specific water stress thresholds. We show that mature Norway spruce is able to maintain its optimum level of transpiration up to soil water potentials of -1000 to -3000 cm pressure head. Transpiration is reduced by aeration stress at water potentials of less than -100 cm pressure head. These findings provide a new basis for future simulation studies and will help to improve the upscaling of transpiration fluxes from the tree to the forest stand and catchment. |
