9Water scarcity in semiarid regions of Europe threatens the sustainability of fruit tree 10 orchards unless irrigation water is optimized and scheduled in deficit irrigation strategies. 11Stomatal conductance (g s ) is one of the best indicators of plant water stress, since it is placed 12 in the crossroad between water and CO 2 fluxes at the leaf level. Unfortunately, it is not 13 possible to measure g s automatically and continuously, which reduces its potential for 14
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
