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 ...

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 ...

Our approach is predicated on the knowledge that precipitation δ 2 H and δ 18 O values (see Methods for definitions) co-vary along a regression line with a δ 2 H/δ 18 O slope of eight (this is the ...

The terrestrial water cycle is a fundamental component of Earth's climate system, governing the exchange of water between land surfaces and the atmosphere.

The Amazon is the world’s largest tropical forest, home to unmatched biodiversity and one of the planet’s longest rivers. Besides the Amazon River, the Amazon rainforest also features “flying rivers:” ...

Most of the water that enters a plant will exit the leaf into the atmosphere. This provides a continuous stream of water which is known as the transpiration stream. Surface area (not an environmental ...
