Measures transpririation in leaves
A porometer measures the pore size and distribution in a material, such as a membrane or filter. It is commonly used in scientific research and quality control to assess the permeability and characteristics of porous materials.
mmol/m2/s
A porometer measures stomatal conductance by determining the rate of water vapor movement through small pores on plant leaves. The device creates a small gradient of water vapor concentration and measures the rate at which water vapor diffuses through the leaf surface, providing a direct measurement of stomatal conductance.
