Episode 42: Can trees store water long-term in heartwood?
Update: 2025-01-13
Description
Traditionally, models of tree water consumption rely on evapotranspiration —a process describing the movement of water through the soil, plant, and atmosphere—as an indirect measure. However, these models may lack critical components, leading to inaccuracies in prediction. In this episode, we are joined by Lauren Tucker, a PhD candidate at Idaho State University, who discusses her team's groundbreaking research on how different tree species store moisture deep within their heartwood for long-term retention.
