record high temperatures for 2024, and it seems Palm Springs, California was the place to start. With a name like “Palm Springs” this place sounds like a wonderful spot to lounge under palm trees and enjoy the cool, refreshing spring water that surrounds you. Instead, the location is ...
Discuss how the Kelvin temperature scale is related to Amonton's Law and how, even though most gasses can't exist below 150 K, scientists were able to establish 0 K. The highest temperature ever recorded in Palm Desert, C...
During exposure to direct sunlight, leaf temperature increases rapidly and can reach values well above air temperature in temperate forest understories, especially when transpiration is limited due to drought stress, but the physiological effects of such
Introduction Changing climate, together with increased demand on limited groundwater supplies for agriculture in many arid regions, has led to several national authorities promoting the use of alternative sources of water for crop irrigation (e.g., Saudi Arabia, [1]; California, [2]). Concern ...
