Transpiration in upper amazonia floodplain and upland forests in response to drought-breaking rains

Transpiration of canopy trees of mature forests at a floodplain and an upland site in Peru was compared. Transpiration of trees representing layers from lower to upper canopy was measured to quantify the effects of limiting and nonlimiting moisture conditions in two extensive forest types, floodplai...

Zusammenfassung:	Transpiration of canopy trees of mature forests at a floodplain and an upland site in Peru was compared. Transpiration of trees representing layers from lower to upper canopy was measured to quantify the effects of limiting and nonlimiting moisture conditions in two extensive forest types, floodplain and upland, of the humid tropics.
