Soil Science, 1961
The monomolecular film technique for reducing evaporation from water surfaces has been applied to the problem of transpiration from plants. Hybrid corn grown in soil enriched by various amounts of fatty alcohols such as hexadecanol has required up to 40 per cent less water during its growth than control plants.

Transpiration: Water Use Efficiency
2007The balance between carbon assimilation (net photosynthetic production) and the throughput of water by transpiration (resource use in terms of water) results in a benefit–cost ratio of interest to eco-physiologists and crop physiologists, known as water use efficiency.

Uncertainties in transpiration estimates
Nature, 2014arising from S. Jasechko et al. Nature 496, 347-350 (2013)10.1038/nature11983How best to assess the respective importance of plant transpiration over evaporation from open waters, soils and short-term storage such as tree canopies and understories (interception) has long been debated. On the basis of data from lake catchments, Jasechko et al.

Thermodynamics of cuticular transpiration
Journal of Insect Physiology, 2011Water conservation is a significant physiological problem for many insects, particularly as temperature increases. Early experimental work supported the concept of a transition temperature, above which water-loss rates increase rapidly as temperature increases.

On the Calculation of Thermal Transpiration
The Journal of Physical Chemistry, 1953The equation proposed earlier has been derived from a new kinetic concept. It is shown to be a reasonable approximation of this new consideration. The equation is also shown to be mathematically consistent with the general fact that when the thermomolecular pressure difference is plotted against the normally measured pressure, a single maximum is ...

Transpiration and Energy Exchange
The Quarterly Review of Biology, 1966Transpiration from a plant leaf is considered as a gaseous diffusion process driven by the net radiation absorbed by a leaf. The transpiration process is formulated analytically and the required transpiration rates are given for specified environmental conditions.

Stomatal control of transpiration
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1993The role of stomata in regulating transpiration from vegetation has historically been controversial among those working either at the single leaf, or at the extensive canopy scales. Recently, the role of unstirred air layers surrounding leaves and canopies in limiting the impact of stomatal movements on transpiration has received renewed recognition ...
