Figure 1: δ 18 O and δ 2 H values of groundwater, stream water, plant xylem water and soil water at 47 globally distributed sites. To quantify the similarities or differences between waters used by ...

In this article we determine the importance of transpiration in plants at three different levels of organization: the plant itself, the ecosystem, and the biosphere, all in terms of entropy production ...

The Transpiration Engine Powers Regional Rainfall Rainforest trees function as biological water pumps, drawing moisture from ...

Steve Nix is a member of the Society of American Foresters and a former forest resources analyst for the state of Alabama. Water mostly enters a tree through the roots by osmosis and any dissolved ...

Leaf gas exchange, transpiration, water potential and xylem water flow measurements were used in order to investigate the daily water balance of intact, naturally growing, adult Larix and Picea trees ...

Purdue Landscape Report: Water covers approximately 71% of Earth’s surface, yet only 3% of the 326 million cubic miles of water on the planet is suitable for growing crops, such as trees. It can be ...

As temperatures rise in July and August, transpiration from plants might add to the humidity. One plant that gets more blame than others is corn, said Dan Quinn, assistant professor of agronomy and ...

The exact science of tree sap transport has puzzled plant physiologists for many years. Sap's migration throughout tree trunks and branches is linked heavily to transpiration, the movement and ...

A research team successfully developed a solar-powered artificial plant device and rapidly purified soil contaminated with radioactive cesium. This device, which mimics plant transpiration, can ...

As water travels through the xylem in the stem and leaf, it is being replaced by water taken up by the roots. Photosynthesis produces glucose in the green parts of plants, which are often leaves. This ...
