Improved Water Consumption Estimates of Black Locust Plantations in China’s Loess Plateau

Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) is a major tree species in China’s large-scale afforestation. Despite its significance, black locust is underrepresented in sap flow literature; moreover, the published water consumption data might be biased.
