Exposure to dry air, exacerbated by global warming, can dehydrate and inflame airways, raising the risk of respiratory infections and worsening conditions like asthma. Researchers at Johns Hopkins ...

HopkinsMedicine scientists say drier air caused by global warming could have a big impact on respiratory health in a new ...

The remainder passes through plants directly into the atmosphere, a process referred to as transpiration. The amount of water lost via transpiration can be incredibly high; a single irrigated corn ...

Water is taken up via a plant's roots, moves through the stems or trunks and is then misted into the air from the leaves through little holes called stomata. This is called transpiration ...

This provides a continuous stream of water which is known as the transpiration stream. Surface area (not an environmental factor) Smaller leaves will contain less stomata causing a decrease in ...

Water does all this without leaving Earth. Its quantity is virtually constant. The main processes involved in this cycle are evaporation, plant transpiration, condensation, precipitation (rain and ...

As water travels through the xylem in the stem and leaf, it is being replaced by water taken up by the roots. Temperature Increases An increase in temperature increases evaporation, so the rate of ...
