In the study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), the researchers found that these indirect effects explain, on average, 28 per cent of the total plant productivity response, and are almost equal to the size of direct effects on evapotranspiration (ET)-- the sum of evaporation and
plant transpiration from the land to the atmosphere..

Chile
plants hate getting there feet too wet, particularly when there is not enough climatic heat to drive the process of
transpiration (the evaporation of water
from both the
plant's leaf and the soil).
-LSB-...] of this process is where water travels
from the roots of a
plant to the leaves, we call this
transpiration, which is driven by capillary action.
The findings, published in Environmental Research Letters, highlight the importance of heat - mitigation strategies and infrastructures such as green roofs — in which vegetation transfers moisture
from the earth to the atmosphere by evaporation of water and
transpiration from plants.
As water evaporates
from the leaf, water pressure in the
plant falls, allowing it to draw water up
from the soil through a process called
transpiration.
He's loosely describing what we now refer to as the process of
transpiration, in which the energy of sunlight causes water to evaporate
from a
plant's surface, thereby drawing water up through the stem.
That heat has helped lead to more evaporation
from soils and
transpiration from plants.
When droughts do occur, they will be more intense than those in the past, because higher temperatures will lead to more evaporation
from soils and
transpiration from plants.
(Evapotranspiration is the process by which water is transferred
from soil and groundwater to the atmosphere through
plant transpiration — loss of water through foliage — and soil evaporation.)
As most know
from experience at lakes in wild mountainous regions, after sunset cool air washes downhill
from the forest due to
plant transpiration.
evapotranspiration loss of water
from the soil both by evaporation
from the surface and
transpiration from the
plants growing thereon
To find out exactly how much greening Arctic warming would bring, the team used a model that projected how temperature changes would affect snow cover, vegetation, and the increased evaporation and
transpiration from plants in the Arctic.
Global warming affects evapotranspiration — the movement of water into the atmosphere
from land and water surfaces and
plants due to evaporation and
transpiration — which is expected to lead to:
But the link
from plants to the atmosphere also suffers -
plants «sweat» moisture in a process known as
transpiration, and this moisture raises, cools, and then is returned to the soil as rain water - a local water cycle.
Altogether, therefore, common sense suggests that with the
plant productivity gains that result
from the aerial fertilization effect of the ongoing rise in atmospheric CO2, plus its
transpiration - reducing effect that boosts
plant water use efficiency, along with its stress - alleviating effect that lessens the negative growth impacts of resource limitations and environmental constraints, the world's vegetation possesses an ideal set of abilities to reap a tremendous benefit
from what the President inaccurately terms «carbon pollution» in the years and decades to come.
12 Factor # 6: Vegetation Affects both temperature and precipitation Influence how much of the sun's energy is absorbed and how quickly it is released Precipitation When
plants release water vapor
from its leaves into the air (
transpiration)
Another way of lowering your home's outdoor thermostat is a natural process called evapotranspiration, a combination of evaporation and
transpiration from plants.
