La transpiration des plantes, émission de vapeur d'eau par le végétal, est le principal mécanisme assurant les mouvements d'eau au sein de la plante. Le degré d'ouverture des stomates dépend du jeu simultané de multiples facteurs. Les expériences proposées dans cette notice permettront d'explorer l'action de certains d'entre eux. Elles ne sont toutefois pas limitatives et chacun pourra imaginer d'autres protocoles permettant d'explorer d'autres aspects du flux hydrique à travers les plantes. 2, record 6, French, - flux%20hydrique
Record number: 6, Textual support number: 2 CONT
On convient généralement de considérer les flux entrants comme positifs et les sortants comme négatifs. Quatre flux énergétiques principaux sont en cause, le flux radiatif, le flux thermique, le flux hydrique (évaporation, condensation) et le flux métabolique (photosynthèse, respiration). En toute rigueur et à court terme, il faut ajouter à ces quatre flux un terme rendant compte des fluctuations thermiques temporelles, c'est-à-dire des variations du stock d'énergie du système. À part le flux d'énergie d'origine métabolique, tous les autres termes sont de nature strictement physique. 3, record 6, French, - flux%20hydrique

The grains of clinker are covered in a thicker and thicker layer of hydrates, which slows down the diffusion of water towards the reactive interface.
