Electric Circuit Theory as a method for monitoring tree water deficit at different scales [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Climate change is expected to alter precipitation patterns, making droughts more frequent in some areas, which will expose trees to more severe water deficits which could result in the catastrophic collapse of their water transport system and, eventually, mortality. To inform forest management and tree species suitability to increase forest resilience requires a robust method for understanding the time, duration and impact of water deficits. In this study, I discuss how an application of Electric Circuit Theory (ECT) is a reliable and robust way to detect water deficit in the Soil-Plant-Atmosphere Continuum (SPAC). Based on an electric closed-circuit analogy of the SPAC, I define its
