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 ...

Increasing water scarcity challenges crop sustainability inmany regions. As a consequence, the enhancement of transpiration efficiency (TE)—that is, the biomass produced per unit of water ...

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 ...

Everyone knows that trees combat climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide out of the air. Now, plant leaves are tackling global warming in another way — by serving as models for a technology that ...

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 ...

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 ...
