Intro, cont. Two different methods are being
employed in the MELNHE plots: the Granier method and the heat ratio method (HRM)
Heat-based sapflow techniques are the most widely used methods for sapflow measurement

Heat Ratio Method An improvement of the compensation
heat pulse method by Burgess et al. (2001)
Method being used by researchers at UNH, led by Heidi Asbjornsen
Measures the ratio of the increase in temperature at points equidistant from the line heater following the release of a heat pulse

Granier Method Developed by André Granier in 1985 Method used by Dr. Michele Pruyn
and team from PSU Constant heat source Sapflow calculated from difference in
temperature between two thermocouples
