4. Water Plants Rainfall Stimulates Plant Growth Water Relations: Water Potential, YH O 2 Studying Water Relations in Plants involves: – Assessing the Amount of Water in Different Locations (Soil, Xylem, Cytoplasm, etc.) – Assessing the Driving Force for Water Flow between Locations (...
In their model, plants with a low critical leaf water potential (i.e. low tolerance to water stress-induced stomatal closure), have lower overall transpirational water loss due to a combination of soil, plant and atmospheric influences (e.g. soil water content, critical leaf water potential,...
Plants uptake water from the ground through their roots and distribute all over the body. The driving force behind water uptake and upward movement in plants is the difference in water potential; water moves from a region of higher water potential to the lower. There is a continuous water-...
In our previous works, we used neutron radiography to visualize in two-dimensions the transport of D2O inside the roots of plants growing in soil29. A diffusion-convection model including different pathways of water was developed to quantify the transport of water across the root tissue30. ...

In conclusion, the study will enrich the limited knowledge about the effects of water and energy on plant diversity (overall plants and different lifeforms) in the dryland of China along the aridity gradient. Keywords: aridity gradient; dryland; plant diversity; plant lifeforms; water–energy ...
in root xylem than other root tissues. The resultant chemical potential gradient drives water influx across the root and into the xylem. No root pressure exists in rapidly transpiring plants, but it has been suggested that in some species root pressure can play a central role in the re...
As reported in other habitats (e.g. Bonan 1989), several drivers of ditch plant communities are likely interrelated. For instance, the chemical and physical conditions experienced by plants, as well as the abundance of exotic species, or ditch connectivity probably depend on the water regime (...
in net photosynthesis, also found to occur in high CO2environments, plants have often been shown to maintain higher water use efficiencies when grown at high CO2than when grown in normal, ambient air. Plants grown at high CO2have also been found to maintain higher total water potentials, to ...
