Water quantity. Plants, especially phreatophytes, transpire enormous quantities of water. It follows that breaking the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum should result in a net reduction in water loss. 2, record 1, English, - soil%2Dplant%2Datmosphere%20continuum

Cette notion est indispensable pour décrire les transferts d'eau mais aussi d'autres phénomènes. La circulation de l'eau se fait en effet à travers le végétal depuis le sol jusqu'à l'atmosphère. L'eau se vaporise dans les feuilles après avoir circulé à l'état liquide dans le sol et la plante. Si globalement, à l'échelle d'un nycthémère, on peut admettre que le volume d'eau transpiré par les parties aériennes est approximativement égal à celui absorbé par les racines, cette hypothèse n'est plus exacte à l'échelle instantanée. 1, record 1, French, - continuum%20sol%2Dplante%2Datmosph%C3%A8re
