0 the process of losing water through the surface or skin of a body or a plant:
Water is lost through evaporation from the soil or transpiration from the leaves.
A rise in temperature may cause the rate of transpiration to increase.
1 the process by which water is lost through the surface of a plant
In hot conditions, transpiration plays an important role in cooling the leaves.
Windbreaks can promote less evaporation and plant transpiration.
The reduced surface area of these narrow leaves limits transpiration.
Reducing radiation levels by 70% with a hessian cloth only cut transpiration by individual trees by about 10% compared with unshaded plants.
Evidence presented above decreases the likelihood that alterations in canopy processes such as photosynthesis and transpiration are responsible for these changes at the forest edge.
In principle, gt was computed as the ratio between transpiration rate and the water vapour concentration difference between the leaf interior and the outside air.
In other words, do plants that limit transpiration by having lower stomatal conductance exhibit less negative cleaf ?
The material of the bags did not interfere with transpiration and photosynthesis.
