arthurgesslerAtmospheric #drought i.e. high water vapor pressure deficit (#VPD) of the air is one reason for #treemortality. First tests for #VPDmanipulation at the #Pfynwald in #Switzerland - we reduce VPD in a > 100 year old Scots pine forest exposed regularly to dry air: https://www.wsl.ch/de/projekte/a-novel-approach-to-disentangle-atmospheric-and-soil-drought.html
Fine spray of distilled water is dosed via nozzle arrays (and we will avoid excessive wetting of needles and drip to the soil) and spray intensity is controlled by distributes RH and T sensors.
