Transpiration: The process by which water in plants moves through leaf pores and is released into the atmosphere as water vapor. Actively growing plants release so much water vapor that dry air masses ...
The physical process of evaporation enriches residual water in the heavy isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen, whereas the biological process of transpiration does not produce an isotopic fractionation, ...
Israeli researchers at Tel Aviv University have succeeded in cultivating and characterizing tomato varieties with higher water use efficiency without compromising yield. The researchers, employing ...
