Tree transpiration was determined by xylem sap flow and eddy correlation measurements in a temperate broad-leaved forest of Nothofagus in New Zealand (tree height: up to 36 m, one-sided leaf area ...

An experimental procedure is described by which contemporaneous assessments of leaf resistance, rates of transpiration and of carbon dioxide exchange can be made on attached leaves. The relative ...

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 ...

Microscopic pores on the surface of leaves called stomata help plants “breathe” by controlling how much water they lose to evaporation. These stomatal pores also enable and control carbon dioxide ...

A research team has developed a low-cost, high-throughput phenotyping platform that continuously measures plant transpiration, enabling real-time monitoring of drought response.

Plants widen microscopic pores on their leaves in response to heat. But scientists lacked an understanding of the mechanisms behind this 'sweating' function. Now, biologists have unlocked the details ...
