I read the references, but there are still a few technical things I can't figure out:
- Do you need to put the root in water?
- Can the xylem sap flow be calculated per root volume instead of per root surface area?
- What is the order of pressures you apply? I read in one reference, they went 0.3, 0.4 then 0.2 MPa. Is there a reason for this order?
If anyone is familiar with measuring this parameter, I would be grateful for some insights.
