A “modified” heat puise velocity (HPV) technique proved to be a satisfactory method to monitor sap velocities in ring-porous oaks. Velocities were calculated from the time of the first onset of a heat puise at a thermistor located 2 cm downstream from the heat source. The thermistors were embedded through the bark and located at the cambium-xylem interface.HPVs in black oaks ranged from 0.6 to 22 m hr–1. HPVs on sunlit sides of a tree were up to 4 times higher than those measured on a shaded side and responded very rapidly to changes in direct sunlight exposure. Average around-the-bole HPVs were linearly related to potential evapotranspiration and to rates of water uptake through stem girdles. increased with increasing solar radiation flux densities from 0.3 to 0.6 cal cm–2min–1. At higher radiation levels were primarily functions of humidity. Forest Sci. 26:485–494.
