Fraction of effective rainfall water used for transpiration

Value	93 %
Organism	Tree Pinus halepensis
Reference	Schiller et al Water balance of Pinus halepensis Mill. afforestation in an arid region, Forest Ecology and Management 105 1998.121–128
Method	Transpiration was determined by means of the calibrated heat pulse technique Cohen et al., 1981., with slight modifications in the structure of the probe and the heater. Calculations: Sap flow, i.e., transpiration (kg h^-1 per tree) was computed from the measured heat flow velocity.
