Transpiration

Transpiration: The process by which water vapor is lost to the atmosphere from living plants. The term can also be applied to the quantity of water thus dissipated.

Transpiration: Process by which water that is absorbed by plants, usually through the roots, is evaporated into the atmosphere from the plant surface. See also evaporation and evapo-transpiration.

Transpiration:  The process by which water vapor escapes from the living plant, principally the leaves, and enters the atmosphere.

Transpiration
The process by which a plant gives off water into the atmosphere. This is part of the water cycle.
Wastewater ...

Transpiration. The process in which plant tissues give off water vapor to the atmosphere as an essential physiological process.
Turbidity. Thick or opaque with matter in suspension; muddy water.

Transpiration: The process by which water absorbed by plants (usually through the roots) is evaporated into the atmosphere from the plant surface (principally from the leaves).

Transpiration
The process by which water vapour is released into the atmosphere after transpiring of living plants.
Treatment plant ...

transpiration
direct transfer of water from the leaves of living plants to the atmosphere. Distinguish evapotranspiration.

evapotranspiration
The loss of water from a given area during a specified time by evaporation from the soil surface and by transpiration from the plants.

Evapotranspiration (ET): loss of water to the atmosphere from the earth's surface by evaporation and by transpiration through plants.

Evapotranspiration: The loss of water from the soil both by evaporation and by transpiration from the plants growing in the soil.
Exceedance: Violation of the pollutant levels permitted by environmental protection standards.

Evapotranspiration - The total water loss due to the transpiration of vegetation plus the evaporation from the soil; higher climatic temperatures result in a higher evapotranspiration rate. (Miller, Raymond W. et al., Soils In Our Environment.

evapotranspiration (ee-VAP-o-TRANS-purr-A-shun). The combined processes of evaporation and transpiration. It can be defined as the sum of water used by vegetation and water lost by evaporation.

plant transpiration: Plant transpiration is when plants open their pores to take in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and they lose water to evaporation.

Transpiration: Process by which water vapour is released through the leaves of plants. This water usually comes from the groundwater.

Transpiration The loss of water from plants through leaves and other parts. This loss can be a significant amount of water during very dry periods.
...

Evapotranspiration: Collective term for evaporation and plant transpiration, which return water vapor from the earthÕs surface to the atmosphere.

Evapotranspiration The water loss to the atmosphere from soil and vegetation. The potential evapotranspiration may be calculated from physical features of the environmental such as incident radiation, wind speed and temperature.

water stress effect The closing of the stomata by a plant in response to excessive water loss through transpiration or in response to drought conditions.

This theory proposes that water is actually "pulled" up trees by the action of transpiration (evaporation from leaf surfaces).

Hydraulic Cycle: The continuous circulation of water between the earth and the atmosphere, through condensation, precipitation, runoff, percolation, evaporation, transpiration, groundwater storage and seepage, ...

Hydrological (water) cycle is he cycle of the earth's water supply from the atmosphere to the earth and back which includes precipitation, transpiration, evaporation, runoff, infiltration, and storage in water bodies and groundwater.
I ...

The process by which surface water, soils, and plants release water vapor to the atmosphere through evaporation and transpiration.
Ex Situ ...

Despite the limiting factor of water, an increase in carbon dioxide concentration has the direct effect of increasing the transpiration efficiency of most plants so that they actually produce more net biomass per unit of water used by the plant.

Hydrology Hydrology is the science of the circulation and distribution of water from the moment it falls as rain until it is returned to the atmosphere by evaporation or transpiration.

Transpiration - the movement of water out of a plant through the pores in leaves or other plant parts.
Weathering - all physical and chemical changes produced in rocks or other deposits by atmospheric agents. These changes ...

Transpiration:the process by which plants emit water through tiny pores in the underside of their leaves. Tropical cyclone:any rotating weather system that forms over tropical waters.
