In this article we determine the importance of transpiration in plants at three different levels of organization: the plant itself, the ecosystem, and the biosphere, all in terms of entropy production ...

Particulate matter deposits on leaves increase plant transpiration and the risk of plants suffering from drought. Particulate matter could thus be contributing more strongly to tree mortality and ...

An ecologist from RUDN University together with colleagues from 14 countries compared three methods for estimating ecosystem transpiration in a study. In the first ever research with such a ...

A research team successfully developed a solar-powered artificial plant device and rapidly purified soil contaminated with radioactive cesium. This device, which mimics plant transpiration, can ...

Chinese scientists have created an energy generator that harnesses the transpiration of plants to create electricity, which could transform almost all leaves on Earth into a sustainable and continuous ...

SCIENTISTS AT CORNELL UNIVERSITY have created a "synthetic tree" microfluidic device that mimics transpiration, the process by which a plant pulls water through its roots and up to its leaves. In ...
