Cornell University researchers have created the world's first synthetic tree. So far, it's a very small 'tree' which stands in a palm-sized piece of hydrogel. This 'tree simulates the process of ...

A proper mechanistic understanding of how whole-tree transpiration varies as a function of environmental conditions is essential for predicting how vegetation will respond to climate change, ...

The ability of trees to cool by transporting water from their roots to the leaves has been known for centuries. But as Stephen Ornes discovers, the principles of transpiration are also inspiring ...

The exact science of tree sap transport has puzzled plant physiologists for many years. Sap's migration throughout tree trunks and branches is linked heavily to transpiration, the movement and ...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - Evapotranspiration is responsible for 15% of our atmosphere's water vapor. Evapotranspiration is the combination of evaporation and transpiration. Both processes release water ...

TWO paper by Sir Francis Darwin (Proceedings of the Royal Society, B, vol. Ixxxvii.) mark an important advance in the study of the process of transpiration in plants. Hitherto, although transpiration ...

The chilly spring weather can work to a gardener's advantage if you have trees and shrubs you need to plant. Here's a look at ...
