Cornell University researchers have created the world's first synthetic tree. So far, it's a very small 'tree' which stands in a palm-sized piece of hydrogel. This 'tree simulates the process of ...

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 ...

These 5 houseplants won’t just brighten your living room – they actually help cool down your home, no fan required.

The forests of the Rocky Mountains of North America are suffering the effects of a climate-exacerbated bark-beetle epidemic. This study shows that the transpiration loss due to widespread tree ...

The transpiration rate was reduced by (1) increasing the atmospheric humidity, (2) reducing the light intensity, (3) increasing the concentration of the nutrient solution. 3. The absolute weight of ...

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 ...

Transpiration rates were measured while the temperature determinations were being made, by loss of weight from potted plants and by Ganong potometers. Transpiration was checked in certain plants by ...

The synthetic leaves are essentially energy scavengers, deriving power from the evaporation-driven flow of water. Leaves are crafted from glass wafers containing a series of tiny, water-filled ...

Particulate matter deposits on leaves increase plant transpiration and the risk of plants suffering from drought. Particulate matter could thus be contributing more strongly to tree mortality and ...
