TreeWatch UCLouvain

I am a linden tree (Ø = 43.4 cm) standing at the entrance of the Faculty of Bioscience Engineering of the Université catholique de Louvain.

This was my day: I grew 0.003 mm and transported 3.78 l of water! That is a huge difference with yesterday: 5 l less (60%). My growth was also much less than yesterday: 87 µm to be precise.

[TreeWatch UCLouvain @TreeWatchUCL]

Measurements are in for today: I grew 0.09 mm and transported 10.64 l of water! That is 2 l or 23% more than yesterday. My growth was much more than yesterday: 73 µm to be precise.

Today I grew 0.017 mm and transported 11.75 l of water! That is a huge difference with yesterday: 5 l more (74%). Looks like my diameter is increasing again, after the shrinkage of yesterday.

[TreeWatch UCLouvain @TreeWatchUCL]

At the moment my diameter is 43.9 cm and I'm transporting water at 0.31 l/h (at 16:00).

[TreeWatch UCLouvain @TreeWatchUCL]

Measurements are in for today: I shrunk 0.008 mm and transported 5.14 l of water! That is more or less the same sap flow as yesterday. Looks like my diameter is starting to shrink. Yesterday I was still growing.

[TreeWatch UCLouvain @TreeWatchUCL]

I grew 0.011 mm and sent 5.32 l of water to the leaves today! That is about the same sap flow as yesterday. My growth was more than yesterday: 10 µm to be precise.

[TreeWatch UCLouvain @TreeWatchUCL]

Measurements are in for today: I grew 0.001 mm and transported 5.15 l of water! That is 1 l or 17% less than yesterday. More or less similar growth as yesterday.

[TreeWatch UCLouvain @TreeWatchUCL]

Today I grew 0.003 mm and transported 5.67 l of water! That is 1 l or 22% more than yesterday. Looks like my diameter is increasing again, after the shrinkage of yesterday.

[TreeWatch UCLouvain @TreeWatchUCL]

This was my day: I shrunk 0.001 mm and transported 4.32 l of water! That is 1 l or 18% less than yesterday. No more growth today, my diameter is starting to shrink.

[TreeWatch UCLouvain @TreeWatchUCL]

It's now 13:00 and I'm transporting water at a rate of 0.19 l/h and my diameter is 43.9 cm.

[TreeWatch UCLouvain @TreeWatchUCL]

Today I grew 0.003 mm and transported 7.1 l of water! That is a huge difference with yesterday: 2 l more (36%). My growth was less than yesterday: 6 µm to be precise.

[TreeWatch UCLouvain @TreeWatchUCL]

Today I grew 0.009 mm and transported 8.64 l of water! Quite a difference with yesterday: 3 l more (55%). After the shrinkage of yesterday, my diameter is increasing again.

[TreeWatch UCLouvain @TreeWatchUCL]

This was my day: I shrunk 0.008 mm and transported 5.28 l of water! That is about the same sap flow as yesterday. More or less similar shrinkage as yesterday.

[TreeWatch UCLouvain @TreeWatchUCL]

Currently my diameter is 43.9 cm and my sap flow rate is 0.28 l/h (at 13:00).

[TreeWatch UCLouvain @TreeWatchUCL]

Currently my diameter is 43.9 cm and my sap flow rate is 0.15 l/h (at 12:00).

[TreeWatch UCLouvain @TreeWatchUCL]

Today I shrunk 0.011 mm and transported 4.86 l of water! Quite similar to yesterday. No more growth today, my diameter is starting to shrink.

[TreeWatch UCLouvain @TreeWatchUCL]

I grew 0.002 mm and transported 5.12 l of water today! That is about the same sap flow as yesterday. My growth was more or less similar to yesterday.

[TreeWatch UCLouvain @TreeWatchUCL]

It's now 14:00 and I'm transporting water at a rate of 0.29 l/h and my diameter is 43.9 cm.

[TreeWatch UCLouvain @TreeWatchUCL]

I grew 0.003 mm and transported 4.98 l of water today! That is more or less the same sap flow as yesterday. My growth was more or less similar to yesterday.

[TreeWatch UCLouvain @TreeWatchUCL]

Currently my diameter is 43.9 cm and my sap flow rate is 0.26 l/h (at 14:00).
