Quantifying the water exchange between a forest stand and the atmosphere is of major interest for the prediction of future growth conditions and the planning of silvicultural treatments. In the present study, we address (i) the uncertainties of sap flow estimations at the tree level and (ii) the performance of the simulation of stand transpiration. Terrestrial laser scan images (TLS) of a mature beech stand (Fagus sylvaticaL.) in Southwestern Germany serve as input data for a representation of the aboveground tree architecture of the study stand. In the single-tree xylem water flow model (XWF) used here, 98 beech trees are represented by 3D graphs of connected cylinders with explicit orientation and size. Beech-specific hydraulic parameters and physical properties of individual trees determine the physiological response of the tree model to environmental conditions.TheXWFsimulations are performed without further calibration to sap flow measurements. The simulations reliably match up with sap flow estimates derived from sap flow density measurements. The density measurements strongly depend on individual sapwood area estimates and the characterization of radial sap flow density gradients with xylem depth. Although the observed pure beech stand is even-aged, we observe a high variability in sap flow rates among the individual trees. Simulations of the individual sap flow rates show a corresponding variability due to the distribution of the crown projection area in the canopy and the different proportions of sapwood area.Stand transpiration is obtained by taking the sum of 98 single-tree simulations and the corresponding sap flow estimations, which are then compared with the stand-level root water uptake model (RWUmodel) simulation. Using theRWUmodel results in a 35% higher simulation of seasonal stand transpiration relative to theXWFmodel. These findings demonstrate the importance of individual tree dimensions and stand heterogeneity assessments in estimating stand water use. As a consequence of species-specific model parameterization and preciseTLS-based stand characterization, theXWFmodel is applicable to various sites and tree species and is a promising tool for predicting the possible water supply limitations of pure and mixed forest stands.
