Plants shape Earth’s atmosphere by moving carbon and water vapour. New research sheds light on how they learned to do it – ...

Plant behavior may seem rather boring compared with the frenetic excesses of animals. Yet the lives of our vegetable friends, ...

During photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide through tiny pores in their leaves and, using light, 'breathe out' water ...

Biomass can be converted into valuable gases. But in order to control this process, the amount of water vapor has to be measured. This is notoriously hard, because other components of the gas can ...

Inside an artificial greenhouse filled with plants, the surrounding glass traps ... These gases include water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).

DR. LEVITT 1 directly compares a resistance for flow of liquid water with one for gaseous diffusion of water vapour. A comparison of the resistances in the plant tissues with those in the gaseous ...

Temperature Increases An increase in temperature increases evaporation, so the rate of diffusion of water from inside the leaf to outside increases Humidity Decreases A decrease in humidity ...

As water travels through the xylem in the stem and leaf, it is being replaced by water taken up by the roots. Temperature Increases An increase in temperature increases evaporation, so the rate of ...
