Enabling better global research outcomes in soil, plant & environmental monitoring.

SFM1 Sap Flow Meter

Measuring sap flow allows tree and plant water use to be calculated on a daily or seasonal basis, and subsequently informing irrigation choices or species selection. Realtime monitoring of these measurements has not been possible until ICT International developed the SFM1x range of Sap Flow Meters using Internet of Things (IoT).

SFM1x Sap Flow Meter Measures Tree and Plant Water Use with IoT Connectivity

With IoT connectivity, the SFM1x is ideal for scenarios where trees are being monitored off site. The continuous connectivity via IoT allows for simplified data retrieval for analysis.

For decision makers, enabling the regular collection of data on the water use of the tree is crucial to ensure that an appropriate watering and water management strategy can be developed. Furthermore, this will ensure an efficient allocation of water and other resources in the management of the trees.

Addressing the needs of the researcher, the SFM1x is a scientifically robust instrument. The underpinning method, the Heat Ratio Method, has a proven track record in research publications. This acceptance is due to the designed functionality such as the internal SD card that records all the measurements taken, and the ability to store raw temperature data for off-line analysis.

Since 2013, ICT International has worked with wireless communication networks for the transmission of data from their instruments. In 2021 the SFM1x was launched with CAT-M1 or LoRaWAN capabilities for IoT connectivity.

How it does it

The SFM1x Sap Flow Meter uses the Heat Ratio Method, developed by Burgess, Adams, Turner, Beverly, Ong, Khan and Bleby (2001). A pulse of heat is provided by a heater needle located in the sapwood area, with a downstream and upstream needle that are accurately spaced to measure the heat difference over time. This measurement, combined with data on the sapwood area allows for the calculation of the sap flow. Uniquely the SFM1x can measure reverse sap flow as well, through the upstream needle.

This data is available to users in both a calculated water use form, as well as raw temperature data for scientific researchers. With the raw temperature data stored in a JSON format, the data can be imported into analysis packages such as R or Python.

Data Output

With the ability to provide data in common file types, the SFM1x can support researchers or web developers to work with data in a form that is suitable for many varied applications:

  • Comma Seperated Values (CSV) for Excel, R and Python
  • Raw temperature data as JSON

For those using R and Python, scripts are available upon request for the processing of data from the SFM1x. R Scripts are available for basic import here

Communication Technology Options

The SFM1x is an IoT enabled Sap Flow Meter is available in the following versions:

  • SFM1C uses CATM1
  • SFM1L uses LoRaWAN
  • SFM1B uses a dedicated, long range Bluetooth with external antenna

The use of these communication technologies enables the SFM1x to be deployed wherever there is cellular network coverage, or if there is no cellular coverage, a network using LoRaWAN and subsequent internet connection via 4G or satellite backhaul.

All SFM1x versions contain a Bluetooth module with an internal antenna for wireless data access and configuration of the unit. The SFM1B has a dedicated external Bluetooth antenna allowing long range connection.

Applications

The Sap Flow Meter (HRM30 and SFM1) has over 400 listings in Google Scholar, highlighting the wide acceptance by the research community. ICT International has an active library of over 150 leading publications that can be accessed here.

The principles behind the SFM1x – the Heat Ratio Method – have been used to measure plant and tree water use in many applications. Example applications of the SFM1 and HRM30 can be found in:

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the advantage of the Heat Ratio Method for sap flow measurement?
  • The heat ratio method can measure reverse flow, low flow and high flow. Supported by widespread use in the research community, the calculations that enable these calculations are well established and verified.

  • What does the measurement of sap flow tell us?
  • Sap flow measurement provides a measurement of the transpiration of the plant. This indicates the plant water status, and subsequently the daily water requirements can be calculated.

  • How can sap flow measurements from the SFM1x be integrated into analysis?
  • Data from the SFM1x is stored as CSV or JSON for easy access and analysis. The data from the SFM1x can be viewed online or downloaded for analysis using a number of common tools, as well as direct integration into customer dashboards.

    Data Analysis and Visualisation

    Data from the SFM1x can be downloaded to be analysed in many statistical packages or sent via an API to a data visualisation (dashboard) of choice. Data can be downloaded directly from the SFM1x, or from the cloud when using the SFM1C or SFM1L.

    Analysis

    When data is downloaded from the cloud, subsequent analysis can be performed using statistical packages. Advanced cloud integration solutions, which provide programming and modelling environments for further scientific analysis, machine learning and management decision making applications are available. Please consult ICT International for more details.

    ICT International have integration solutions for the analysis of SFM1x data (CSV or JSON) using:

    • R and R Studio
    • Python
    • ArcGIS/QGIS
    • Various Dashboards (customer supplied)

    Advanced cloud integration programming and modelling environments include:

    • SENAPS
    • Hitachi Vantara

    These provide the ability to undertake all analysis in a cloud environment, removing the need for static processing with downloaded data.

    For the static processing of data, data from the SFM1x can be downloaded and analysed using the proven ICT International Dataview and Sap Flow Tool software. This is ideal for those who are upgrading their SFM1 to an SFM1x.

    Visualisation

    Providing real time information of the tree condition and water use, SFM1x data can be integrated into specific tools. These tools can be web based or dedicated apps using the API and JSON feeds. The results are suitable for arborists and the public when visiting an arboretum or tree canopy walk.

    Visualisation solutions include:

    • Geospatial Integration (ArcGIS/QGIS or similar)
    • Various Dashboards (customer supplied)

    Data from the SFM1x can also be downloaded and processed using ICT International Sap Flow Tool software. The software also allows for instant visualising of sap flow in 2- and 3- dimensions.

    The Measurement Principle

    Using the Heat Ratio Method, the SFM1x can measure plant water use when the stem or root diameter is greater than 10mm, including:

    • Low & zero sap flow rates
    • Reverse sap flow rates
    • Night-time water use
    • High flow rates

    Advanced users may choose to use JSON files containing the raw temperature data for subsequent processing and analysis.
