Sentences with phrase «through plant transpiration»

(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.)

The study accounted for evapotranspiration, which is water released into the air through plant transpiration and soil evaporation, as well as precipitation, and surface water flowing into and out of the Central Valley.

Not exact matches

Transpiration helps another process called capillary action to take place, which is how water moves through a plant.

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.

Engineered plants conserve 25 percent more water by only partially opening their mouth - like stomata, allowing less water to escape through transpiration while carbon dioxide enters the plant to fuel photosynthesis.

Stomata are the gatekeepers to plants: When open, carbon dioxide enters the plant to fuel photosynthesis, but water is allowed to escape through the process of transpiration.

Cool season crops have three advantages: the cooler temperatures allow plants to grow without losing as much water through transpiration (like humans» sweat) as crops that grow during hot weather.

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.

An important predictor of future ecosystem drought (defined as ecological drought in the Water chapter) susceptibility is the net balance of water gained through precipitation and water lost through evapotranspiration (the combined effect of water evaporation and the transpiration of water by plants).

For example, a high school biology teacher might ask the class how much water taken up by the roots of a corn plant is lost through transpiration.

And our soil does a few different things — retains water in the soil for the plants, returns water to the atmosphere through evapo - transpiration, dramatically reduces peak flows, and significantly delays any remaining run - off.

Dryland, to a geographer, is not desert: it is terrain on which rain certainly falls, but rainfall is balanced by evaporation and transpiration through plant tissues.

Studies have revealed that about 10 percent of the moisture found in the atmosphere is released by plants through transpiration.

Soil moisture is a key variable in controlling the exchange of water and heat energy between the land surface and the atmosphere through evaporation and plant transpiration.

Use soil and vegetation in a constructed technique, such as rain gardens or green roofs, to mimic natural hydrologic processes like percolation through soil and plant uptake and transpiration.

Plants also release water through their leaves (called transpiration) while photosynthesizing.

They don't just add water, but also have plants that cool even more through transpiration.
