PSY1 Psychrometer: a field instrument for measuring in-situ plant water potential

ByBen

The ICT International PSY1 Psychrometer is used in recent research to elucidate plant responses to drought and related stresses. Most notable in this research is the characterisation of the occurrence of xylem embolism, the phenomenon where xylem vessels get blocked by air bubbles or cavities. Psychrometer measurements normally accompany other approaches like the optical technique…
