Office Hours Q&A | Stomatal Conductance and LAI

Описание: Discover METER sensors: https://www.metergroup.com/en/meter-e...

Plants rely on their leaves for survival. By measuring the leaf area index (LAI) and monitoring stomatal conductance—a parameter that helps with understanding the movement of moisture and gases through the leaf's pores—you can gain significant insights into the plant's water status.

In this METER Group Office Hours Live Q & A session, join Jeff Ritter and Chris Chambers as they tackle questions about:
What is stomatal conductance?
How do you measure stomatal conductance?
How do you use these measurements to quantify plant stress?
Can the SC-1 be used to measure leaf transpiration?
Why is accurate leaf temperature important?
Why should you measure LAI?
And more

Presenters:
Jeff Ritter is the Product Manager for plant, canopy, and atmospheric monitoring instrumentation here at METER. He earned his master’s degree in plant physiology from Washington State University, where his research focused on leaf-level gas exchange, and the impact of plant biochemistry on the measurement of the global carbon cycle. Prior to working at METER, he held a research faculty position at Washington State University in the Department of Crop and Soil Sciences.

Chris Chambers operates as the Environment Support Manager and the Soil Moisture Sensor Product Manager at METER Group, the world leader in soil moisture measurement. He specializes in ecology and plant physiology and has over 15 years of experience helping researchers measure the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum.
