The energy and mass exchange characteristics of a loblolly pine plantation.
Abstract
The partitioning of net radiation into latent and sensible heat varied with time of day and from day to day. This resulted from variations in net radiation, canopy resistance, and air vapour density deficit. Canopy conductance was significantly correlated with solar radiation flux density. Significant correlations were also found between average stomatal conductance and leaf temperature, vapour density deficit, and solar radiation flux in the canopy. From authors' summary.
