Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shrub sap flow testing technology, specifically a small shrub rain control device. Background Technology

[0002] Shrub sap flow testing is a key technology that monitors the dynamic process of water transport within plant stems to reveal plant water use strategies, physiological functions, and environmental responses. Its core objective is to quantify plant water transport efficiency, assess the impact of environmental stresses, and provide a scientific basis for eco-hydrological processes. Rain control is necessary in a natural environment during sap flow testing to ensure the rigor of the experimental design, data accuracy, and isolation from environmental variables. However, current rain control technologies primarily use simple sheds without dedicated devices, resulting in limited stability, functionality, and effectiveness. Furthermore, the effectiveness of water impermeability beneath the soil is a significant challenge. Therefore, we propose a small-scale shrub rain control device. Utility Model Content
