Should you be measuring water content or water potential? Like all good scientific questions, the answer is, “It depends.” In this episode, METER research scientist, Leo Rivera, and METER’s ecology and plant physiology specialist, Chris Chambers, discuss what you need to know to choose the right measurements.
25 years ago Drs John Norman and Gaylon Campbell co-authored An Introduction to Environmental Biophysics. Their ability to work across disciplinary lines brought new understanding to countless scientists and taught us how to conduct better research through collaboration.
Champions of water potential, Drs. Kim Novick and Jessica Guo, team up to discuss the vital role water potential measurement plays in both plant and soil sciences and the work they are doing to establish the first-of-its-kind nationwide water potential network.
