Water transfer from soil through plants to the atmosphere. ... The basic assumption is that the driving force for water transport, from the soil through the plant to the atmosphere, is the gradient in energy level of the water over this pathway. In the soil, this energy level is expressed by the water potential of the soil in the root zone. 2, record 1, English, - transfer%20of%20water%20through%20plants

Transfert à travers les plantes. Il est provoqué par la transpiration qui entraîne une absorption au niveau des racines et un prélèvement sur les réserves de la plante; ce prélèvement est nul en début de journée, puis il devient positif en cours de journée; en fin de journée et surtout la nuit, il est négatif, c'est-à-dire qu'il y a reconstitution des réserves de la plante. 4, record 1, French, - transfert%20%C3%A0%20travers%20les%20plantes
