Water uptake by indoor surface films [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 AbstractIndoor surfaces provide a plentiful and varied substrate on which multiphase reactions can occur which can be important to the chemical makeup of the indoor environment. Here, we attempt to characterise real indoor surface films via water uptake behaviour and ionic composition.

Inferring foliar water uptake using stable isotopes of water [PDF]
Oecologia, 2017 A growing number of studies have described the direct absorption of water into leaves, a phenomenon known as foliar water uptake. The resultant increase in the amount of water in the leaf can be important for plant function. Exposing leaves to isotopically enriched or depleted water sources has become a common method for establishing whether or not a ...

Tree water uptake patterns across the globe
New PhytologistSummaryPlant water uptake from the soil is a crucial element of the global hydrological cycle and essential for vegetation drought resilience. Yet, knowledge of how the distribution of water uptake depth (WUD) varies across species, climates, and seasons is scarce relative to our knowledge of aboveground plant functions. With a global literature review,

Biophysical rhizosphere processes affecting root water uptake [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2016 Background Recent advances in imaging techniques now make it possible to visualize the biogeochemical and physical environment around the roots, the rhizosphere. Detailed images of pore space geometry and water content dynamics around roots have demonstrated the heterogeneity of the rhizosphere compared with the soil far from the roots.

Enhancement of Water Uptake in Composite Superabsorbents Based on Carboxymethyl Cellulose Through Porogen Incorporation and Lyophilization [PDF]
GelsCarboxymethyl cellulose sodium salt (CMC)-based superabsorbents are promising materials for the development of agricultural matrices aimed at water management and slow-release fertilizer production. However, an increase in the CMC content tends to reduce

Root hydraulic phenotypes impacting water uptake in drying soils
Plant, Cell and Environment, 2022 Soil drying is a limiting factor for crop production worldwide. Yet, it is not clear how soil drying impacts water uptake across different soils, species, and root phenotypes.
