Transpiration transfer of water from plants to the atmosphere
Animation by: Bramer ...

 


Transpiration - the process by which plants transfer water within to water vapor in the atmosphere ...

transpiration: process where water in plants is transferred to water vapor in the atmosphere through the leaf pores.

Transpiration The movement of water vapor out through the pores in leaves; the water is drawn by their roots from soil moisture storage.

Transpiration The release of water vapor to the atmosphere by plants.
Tropical air mass A warm-to-hot air mass that forms in the subtropics.

Transpiration The process by which water vapor escapes from plants through leaf pores.
Triple point The point of occlusion where cold, warm, and occluded fronts all come together.

evapotranspiration"1. The combined processes through which water is transferred to the atmosphere from open water and ice surfaces, bare soil, and vegetation that make up the earth's surface. 2.

EVAPOTRANSPIRATION The total amount of water that is transferred from the earth's surface to the atmosphere. It is made up of the evaporation of liquid or solid water plus the transpiration from plants.

Evapotranspiration
Combination of evaporation from free water surfaces and transpiration of water from plant surfaces to the atmosphere.

Evapotranspiration(1)
The sum of evaporation and plant transpiration. Potential evapotranspiration is the amount of water that could be evaporated or transpired at a given temperature and humidity, if there was plenty of water available.

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.

Evapotranspiration (ET) The combined processes by which water is transferred from the earth's surface to the atmosphere: evaporation of liquid or solid water plus transpiration from plants.

evapotranspirationThe vaporization of water through direct evaporation from wet surfaces and the release of water vapor by vegetation.

TranspirationWater discharged into the atmosphere from plant surfaces.Transport WindThe average wind over a specified period of time within a mixed layer near the surface of the earth.

It responds slowly, changing little from week to week, and reflects long-term moisture runoff, recharge, and deep percolation, as well as evapotranspiration.

The rate of evapotranspiration of forests, or of any large vegetated area for that matter, contributes to the release of water vapor in the atmosphere.

drought occurs, when evaporation and transpiration exceed precipitation of rain.

Conveyance LossIn hydrologic terms, the loss of water from a conduit due to leakage, seepage, evaporation, or evapo-transpiration.

It moves into the atmosphere as water vapour through evaporation from water surfaces or through transpiration from plants.

Most moisture in the atmosphere comes from the oceans. At one time it was thought, most came from transpiration, the process by which water in plants and trees is transferred as water vapor to the atmosphere.

Conveyance Loss The loss of water from a conduit due to leakage, seepage, evaporation, or evapotranspiration.

phase have above-average energies, those left behind have below-average energies, which is manifested by a decrease in temperature of the condensed phase (unless compensated for by energy transfer from the surroundings). See also evapotranspiration.
