Abstract | The measurement of xylem water potential provides information about the current water available to plants. Furthermore, the knowledge of actual stand transpiration and canopy water conductance provides essential information for estimating canopy carbon, water and energy budgets. Thus, successfully coupling remote sensing measurements directly to canopy water status would close a gap in our ability to estimate these parameters using remote sensing techniques. Connecting canopy water status to variations in observed radar backscatter via the plant dielectric constant will demonstrate the capability of using remotely sensed radar data in ecological studies of canopy water relations. This paper examines in situ observations of hydrologic and dielectric properties of several tree species under different environmental conditions. Characteristics of the dielectric constant measured for the woody plant material are examined together with simultaneous observations of such hydrologic parameters as xylem water potential and xylem water flow. Dielectric constant is monitored with field portable probes or with multichannel measurement systems designed specifically for continuous monitoring of dielectric properties. The importance of this work for radar remote sensing is discussed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
