How does water move through plants to get to the top of tall trees? Here we describe the pathways and mechanisms driving water uptake and transport through plants, and causes of flow disruption.

Annual maximum fractional absorbed photosynthetically active radiation, described as smaller of a water-limited value and an energy-limited value, reproduces global spatial and temporal greenness ...

In pure water, the cell contents (the cytoplasm and vacuole) push against the cell wall and the cell becomes turgid . Fully turgid cells support the stems of non-woody plants. In a very ...

Diffusion Substances move from a high to a lower concentration down a concentration gradient Carbon dioxide, oxygen, water, food substances, wastes, eg urea No Osmosis Water moves from a high to a ...
