Globally, plant transpiration moves more water from the soil to the atmosphere than all the world’s rivers combined move to the oceans. The flow of water through plants has huge importance for the functioning of our biosphere, ecosystems, hydrology, meteorology, primary productivity, agriculture, horticulture, soil erosion, and drinking water supplies. Accurate, in vivo measurements of sap flow and transpiration are needed to quantify the flow in this "river to the sky" in biological, horticultural, agricultural, and forestry research and for optimizing irrigation management in horticulture and agriculture.

The 10th International Workshop on Sap Flow in 2017 in Fullerton, California, will be the forum for international exchange of new scientific ideas and discoveries related to sap flow and transpiration. All contributions will have a direct link to sap flow, but many will go beyond this topic and address issues ranging from the underlying biology and physics of sap flow to applications in irrigation management. The focus will be on disseminating the latest research and innovative activities within the field of plant vascular functioning, new measurement technologies, and applications in irrigation management. Presentations will include contributions about individual plants, natural ecosystems, and man-made systems, such as orchards, landscaping, crops, and forest plantations.

Many experienced and young researchers, and R&D staff from companies from around the world will attend the 10th International Workshop on Sap Flow. This is the tenth workshop in a series sponsored by the International Society for Horticultural Science (ISHS) and the first time that a sap flow workshop will take place in North America, following up on the most recent meetings in Ghent, Belgium, in 2013, Volterra, Italy, in 2011, and Sevilla, Spain, in 2008. It will be a unique opportunity for exchange of scientific knowledge, planning of joint research, and other co-operative activities. The scientific program will include invited keynote presentations by outstanding international experts, short lectures, and poster presentations. The social program and a one-day field trip that will include the historic research site at the San Dimas Experimental Forest and Pine Tree Ranch and the Rancho Camulos in the Santa Clara River valley should make the stay even more enjoyable.

Keynote Speakers: Andrew McElrone (University of California Davis), George Koch (Northern Arizona University), Rafael Oliveira (State University of Campinas, Brazil), Chelcy Miniat (US Department of Agriculture), and Thibaut Scholasch (Fruition Sciences, France).
