Evapotranspiration is a critical link between water, energy, and carbon. Scientists need to understand it well to accurately ...

Forest transpiration is a primary component of water- and energy-balance studies as a mechanism for mass and energy transfer. During the winter months, however, there is a period of transpiration ...

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 ...

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 ...

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:” ...

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 ...
