An ecologist from RUDN University together with colleagues from 14 countries compared three methods for estimating ecosystem transpiration in a study. In the first ever research with such a ...

Our approach is predicated on the knowledge that precipitation δ 2 H and δ 18 O values (see Methods for definitions) co-vary along a regression line with a δ 2 H/δ 18 O slope of eight (this is the ...

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 ...

The Amazon is the world’s largest tropical forest, home to unmatched biodiversity and one of the planet’s longest rivers. Besides the Amazon River, the Amazon rainforest also features “flying rivers:” ...

The terrestrial water cycle is a fundamental component of Earth's climate system, governing the exchange of water between land surfaces and the atmosphere.

Most of the water that enters a plant will exit the leaf into the atmosphere. This provides a continuous stream of water which is known as the transpiration stream. Surface area (not an environmental ...

Watch this video to discover how plants transport water in the xylem and sugars in the phloem to stay healthy. As water travels through the xylem in the stem and leaf, it is being replaced by water ...
