Several years ago, I had a reader ask, “Why should I use an anti-transpirant?” As landscapers, we would use this product to reduce water vapor escaping from the plant. Anti-transpirants or ...

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 ...

Whole plant studies were conducted to examine the effects of glyphosate on components of carbon balance, transpiration, and biomass partitioning of wheat plants grown in Olton sandy clay loam soil and ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Sugarcane, derived from the hybridization of Saccharum officinarum×Saccharum spontaneum, is a vegetative crop in which the final yield is ...

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 ...

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 ...

Accurately modeling gross primary productivity (GPP) and evapotranspiration (ET) in terrestrial ecosystems is essential for understanding and predicting the global carbon and water cycles. However, ...

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 ...
