Plant transpiration accounts for> 60% of evapotranspiration and is affected by drought in
various ways. Seasonal droughts are frequent in humid region, and co-occur with increasing …

Transpiration (T) is a fundamental process in understanding the ecophysiology of plants,
and it is the dominant component of evapotranspiration (ET) in the terrestrial water cycle …

With increased usage of plantations in the control of desertification and water shortages in
the Mu Us Desert, water use by desert-dwelling shrubs, such as Salix psammophila has …

Extreme seasonal droughts frequently occur in semiarid and arid areas of the world. They
can exert a profound influence on the physiological state of desert plants. Short-term rainfall …

Transpiration (Tr) is influenced by environmental factors, vegetation properties, and
anthropogenic management. The effect of environmental factors on Tr are taking place from …

Water is the most important factor limiting the growth of sand-binding vegetation (SBV) in
desert ecosystems. This study explored the water sources and water use strategies of SBV …

Land use plays an important role in controlling spatial and temporal variations of soil
moisture by influencing infiltration rates, runoff and evapotranspiration, which is important to …

Although tree transpiration and conductance responding to soil drought are increasingly
investigated in urban settings, the increasingly important effects of atmospheric drought (ie …

In a semiarid sandy ecosystem, water is the most important factor in determining survival
and growth of Mongolian pine (Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica) in a sparse wood grassland …

Climate models predict rising temperatures and more frequent and prolonged urban heat
