Abstract
As part of an ecosystem study, addressed are the questions of water utilization by coniferous forests and the influence water has on growth and mineral cycling. Individual trees are an integrated system by themselves. Their water flux can be envisioned as representing an integration of four components: (1) uptake, (2) internal storage, (3) the controls upon the rate of movement of water from one part of the system to another and (4) the atmospheric demand.
