ABSTRACTis study examined the e ect of bark stripping on the electrical impedance parameters of cork oak young leaves between 40Hz and 100 kHz. is was a new application of the electrical impedances spectroscopy (EIS) in plant science. Various stripping coe cients (CD) were applied on the trees. Bark stripping is expected to a ect water metabolism of leaves and therefore changes in the EIS parameters are expected as well. Single-DCE (ZARC) model was used as equivalent circuit for leaves. Several electrophysiological parameters of this model were compared with moisture content (MC) of the leaves. Intracellular resistance (R i ), extracellular resistance (R e ) and relaxation time (τ) of the leaves increased during 14 days a er stripping while the distributed coe cient (Ψ) and MC decreased. Signi cant correlation between EIS parameters, MC and trees treatments were found.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
