SAPFLUXNET

A global database of sap flow measurements

v0.1.5

Data will be downloaded from the Zenodo repository

What is SAPFLUXNET?

SAPFLUXNET is an initiative to compile and curate a global database of sap flow measurements in plants led by researchers at CREAF. The main goal of SAPFLUXNET is to advance in the scientific understanding of the ecological factors driving plant transpiration and drought responses across the globe.
