Nitrogen forms affect root structure and water uptake in the hybrid poplar [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The study analyses the effects of two different forms of nitrogen fertilisation (nitrate and ammonium) on root structure and water uptake of two hybrid poplar (Populus maximowiczii x P. balsamifera) clones in a field experiment.

Stochastic soil water dynamics of phreatophyte vegetation with dimorphic root systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
As the direct uptake of deep groundwater by vegetation may be essential in semiarid regions, we incorporated this process in stochastic root zone water balance models.

Plant Water Uptake in Drying Soils [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 2014
Over the last decade, investigations on root water uptake have evolved toward a deeper integration of the soil and roots compartment properties, with the goal of improving our understanding of water acquisition from drying soils. This evolution parallels the increasing attention of agronomists to suboptimal crop production environments.

Mapping quantitative trait loci for water uptake of rice under aerobic conditions

open access: yesPlant Production Science, 2020
Root development in rice (Oryza sativa L.) plays a key role in water uptake (WU) and water use efficiency (WUE) in water-saving technologies such as aerobic cultivation.

Exploitation of a Grafting Technique for Improving the Water Use Efficiency of Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) Grown in a Cold Greenhouse in Mediterranean Climatic Conditions

open access: yesAgronomy, 2023
Grafting techniques have been intricately associated with the optimization of water use efficiency (WUE). In this study, various eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) rootstock–scion combinations were compared under three irrigation regimes (IR): 50% deficit ...

Water uptake by trees in a riparian hardwood forest (Rhine floodplain, France) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Water flow in the soil–root–stem system was studied in a flooded riparian hardwood forest in the upper Rhine floodplain. The study was undertaken to identify the vertical distribution of water uptake by trees in a system where the groundwater is at a ...

Assessment of different pretreatments to breakage dormancy and improve the seed germination in Elaeocarpus serratus L. - an underutilized multipurpose fruit tree from South India

open access: yesForest Science and Technology, 2018
The seeds of Elaeocarpus serratus, a tropical underutilized fruit tree are characterized by hard seed coat and consequent poor water uptake and low germination.

Moisture Adsorption and Thermodynamic Properties of California Grown Almonds (Varieties: Nonpareil and Monterey)

open access: yesInternational Journal of Food Studies, 2012
Moisture adsorption characteristics of California grown almonds (Nonpareil: pasteurized and unpasteurized almonds; Monterey: pasteurized, unpasteurized and blanched almonds) were obtained using the gravimetric method over a range of water activities from

Atmosphere-Ocean Ozone Exchange – A Global Modeling Study of Biogeochemical, Atmospheric and Water-Side Turbulence Dependencies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The significance of the removal of tropospheric ozone by the oceans, covering ~2/3 of the Earth's surface, has only been addressed in a few studies involving water tank, aircraft, and tower flux measurements.

Root development and the expression of aquaporin genes in rice seedlings under osmotic stress

open access: yesPlant Production Science, 2016
We conducted hydroponic culture experiments to characterize root traits in a rice cultivar ‘Puluik Arang’ that has been identified in a previous study as a cultivar that is adaptable to unflooded conditions.
