The first step was to select the location of the datalogger, as the longest wire connecting to the datalogger is 150 feet (around 45 m).

The second step was to select of the location of solar panel, as it should be fully exposed to the sun.

The third step was to select 15 trees with 5 in each plot in B1.  However, we had four 150 feet cables, four 100 feet cables, two 24 feet cables and two 75 feet cables, so the selected trees should not be too far away from datalogger. Trees should also represent the most common DBH at each plot.

After careful consideration, we successfully selected appropriate locations and trees. Then we inserted the sap flow probes and covered it following the standard procedure.
