Today I took a field trip with my CSIR Host Supervisors to Conduct field experience in the installation of sap flow sensors to measure transpiration (water use) of trees. We also measured an area of 10m x 10m, Calculated how many invasive alien trees are found in that area and also measured their stem diameter. The reason for measuring the stem diameter is to check how much the invasive alien trees will grow starting from today (07/06/2018) and compare that data with the one that will be collected in a month’s time. It was a very informative experience today of drilling the trees at a certain length and inserting the sensors.
