Plant water stress is linked to both above- and below-surface parameters; with above-surface parameters being generally easier to measure. Models utilizing above-surface parameters, such as canopy temperature to identify plant water stress, frequently employ the crop water stress index (CWSI)....

In agronomy and hydrology, models are used to analyze experimental data, whereas experiments are needed to parameterize models. The sensitivity of model outcomes to input parameters is a key issue in this context. As a contribution to the subject, the objective of this study was to evaluate some...

Experimental results obtained from a greenhouse trial with common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) plants performed to test model hypotheses regarding the onset of limiting hydraulic conditions and the shape of the transpiration reduction curve in the falling rate phase are presented. According to...
