Soil water holding capacity and availability for uptake by roots
Dependent on soil type and structureGreater surface area/gram – more water holding capacity

Water moves through soil by pressure-driven bulk flowSoil water potential (Ψw): Ψw = solute/osmotic potential (Ψs) + pressure potential (Ψp)
Soil solution Ψs is usually negligibleΨp contributes the most to soil solution Ψw

Surface tension facilitates water transport from roots to leavesCohesion-tension theory for water movement in the xylemExtensive vascular system in a leaf
4.11 Water pathway through the leaf

Transpiration – water loss from leaf surfaces~95% of plant water loss occurs by evaporation through stomataWater vapor concentration difference along the transpirational pathway drives evaporation
4.11 Water pathway through the leaf

Primary forces that drive water transport:1. Soil - p gradient that drives bulk flow2. Uptake by plant roots - w gradient that facilitates osmosis due mainly to the symplastic s
3. Root to shoot - p gradient resulting from surface tension in the sub-stomatal cavity4. Sub-stomatal cavity to atmosphere – water vapor concentration gradient

Transpiration occurs primarily through stomata (stoma) About 95% of plant water loss occurs through stomataCuticle and boundary layer are resistances to leaf transpiration
Stomatal complex – pore surrounded by a pair of guard cells that control the aperture size
