Supplementary Materials of "Elementary mathematics helps to shed light on the transpiration budget under water stress"

This directory contains the Jupyter notebook used to do complete analysis from our paper "Elementary mathematics sheds light on the transpiration budget under water stress" submitted to the Ecohydrology Journal at the Special Issues "ECOHYDROLOGY OF INLAND AND COASTAL WATERS in honor of Ignacio Rodriguez-Iturbe".

These materials are referenced in the main text and supplemental text of the publication. The purpose of this repository is to facilitate replication of our analysis by any interested parties. 

Specifically, this directory contains ten files:

• From 0 to 5, Jupyter Notebook prepared and used for the analysis (please execute the notebooks in numerical sequence). 
• "Table_S1.xlsx" Data From: Kröber, W., H. Heklau, and H. Bruelheide. 2015. “Leaf Morphology of 40 Evergreen and Deciduous Broadleaved Subtropical Tree Species and Relationships to Functional Ecophysiological Traits.” Plant Biology  17 (2): 373–83. https://doi.org/10.1111/plb.12250.
• "Richards_VG.csv" contains Van Genuchten Parameters for various soils.
• "The_Rosetta_Stone_of_the_Darcy_Buckingham_law.pdf" addresses the challenge of converting water flux units between Darcy-like soil and plant descriptions, where hydrologists use "head" units (meters) and plant physiologists use pressure potential (MPa). The aim is to clarify and perform the necessary unit conversions, with detailed explanations available in the relevant section on this webpage.
