- Abstract
The article discusses the water table fluctuations and transpiration dynamics in a seasonally inundated Melaleuca quinquenervia forest in north Queensland, Australia. The author claims that they have created techniques to reconstruction inundation duration and seasonal and inter-annual variability using long term stream flow data. It believes that the measurements of individual tree transpiration using heat-pulse techniques shows a strong relation between tree size and tree water use, which was applied for scaling to stand transpiration. Moreover, it suggests that stand transpiration rates are closely tied to atmospheric drivers of evaporation, and transpiration of Melaleuca quinquenervia is found to be unaffected by inundation.
