Abstract:Water potential is the principal driving force for the movement of water
through soils and plants, and directly influences plant physiological
responses. The relationships between water potential and water content
in plants and soil have long been of interest, and there is increasing
focus on understanding how these fundamental measures of water are
linked at larger spatial and temporal scales. In this Perspective, we
explore how the theory of pressure-volume relationships can be applied
at ecosystem scale. We… Show more
