Aspen
Not RecommendedPerformance
Not recommended. Field trials in aspen saplings showed sensors producing sustained positive readings well above 0 bar, inconsistent with pressure chamber measurements of -15 to -30 bar. Reinstallation did not resolve the issue. Likely a species-specific xylem compatibility problem.
Known Issues
- Sustained positive readings inconsistent with pressure chamber measurements (-15 to -30 bar).
- Reinstallation does not resolve it, indicating a species-specific xylem incompatibility.
