Sentences with phrase «water potential»

Normalized rates of evaporation over the grassland declined as volumetric water content dropped below 0.15 m3 m - 3, which corresponded with a soil water potential of -1.5 MPa.

The loss of water during transpiration creates more negative water potential in the leaf, which in turn pulls more water up the tree.

The oak trees, on the other hand, were able to transpire, albeit at low rates, under very dry soil conditions (soil water potentials below -4.0 MPa).

However, the exceptional ability and mouth watering potential of Alessio did not go unnoticed.

Orange dots mark zones with seasonal water potential.

The University of Arkansas research team investigated the liquid — liquid phase transition using a simulation model called Water potential from Adaptive Force Matching for Ice and Liquid (WAIL).

Changes of leaf water potential and gas exchange during and after drought in triticale and maize genotypes differing in drought tolerance

The trees were able to endure such low water potentials and maintain basal levels of metabolism because ecological forcings kept the tree density and leaf area index of the woodland low, physiological factors forced the stomata to close progressively and the trees were able to tap deeper water sources (below 0.6 m) than the grasses.

The response of canopy evaporation to diminishing soil moisture was quantified by comparing normalized evaporation rates (in terms of equilibrium evaporation) with soil water potential and volumetric water content measurements.

As you move up the tree the water potential becomes more negative, and these differences create a pull or tension that brings the water up the tree.

For example, the most negative water potential in a tree is usually found at the leaf - atmosphere interface; the least negative water potential is found in the soil, where water moves into the roots of the tree.

You can put sensors into the soil, or you can do satellite imaging and mapping, but you never really know what a particular plant is detecting as the water potential.»

I am confident that my ability to develop and assess land and water potential and provide environmental land use planning, with strong communication and organizational skills will produce best results for your establishment.
