abstract = {Commercial cultivation of date palms has high economic
significance, particularly in arid and hyper-arid regions.
Achieving commercially viable yield of dates amid water
scarcity and enforced restrictions on water use requires
optimising the amount and timing of irrigation. To that end,
better understanding of the temporal dynamics of the water
use of date palm is of great importance. Traditionally, this
can be achieved through sap flow estimates obtained using
heat dissipation probes. However, such measurements lack the
ability to provide information on the spatial distribution
of sap flow, which is important considering that date palms
transport water in the entire stem cross-section. The aim of
this study is to evaluate whether electrical resistivity
tomography measurements have the potential to provide
information on the spatial variability of flow in date palm
stems. For this, flow was induced through a stem segment
that was obtained from a felled date palm tree. ERT
measurements were continuously obtained throughout a cycle
of flow and no-flow periods. The results showed that the
mean bulk electrical conductivity varied strongly due to
changes in the flow conditions. In addition, it was found
that the electrical conductivity of the outflow was much
higher than that of the inflow, which indicates the release
of stored salt from the stem segment. Analysis of the
spatial distribution of the electrical conductivity
suggested that flow mainly occurred in a limited part of the
cross-sectional area of the stem. Overall, it was concluded
that the ERT is a promising tool to investigate the spatial
variability of water flow in date palm stems.},
