Abstract
The invention provides a method for determining a physical vessel parameter of a vascular tissue in a vascular plant (10), wherein the method comprises: a detection stage comprising detecting acoustic emission radiation (121) from the vascular plant (10) and providing an emission-related signal; and an analysis stage comprising determining the physical vessel parameter based on the emission-related signal, wherein the physical vessel parameter comprises an elasticity or a vessel dimension, and wherein the analysis stage comprises fitting at least part of the emission-related signal to a model of flexural modes of a cylindrical beam, and determining the physical vessel parameter based on the model.
