Earth system models are essential tools for studying complex planetary processes, including interactions between the atmosphere and biosphere.

PREVIOUS work in inorganic solute movement in plants has suggested that the minerals follow a specific polar path from the roots which absorb them to the leaves in which they are deposited 1,2.

A study has identified key genetic pathways in corn that help its roots branch out to find water in soil; the varieties adapted to temperate regions like the U.S. corn belt showed large differences in ...

The study provides the first experimental demonstration of the potential impacts of climate change on water movement through ... and then tracked its path through the plants and the soil.

When they simulated rainfall, they used water with a traceable isotope of hydrogen called deuterium, and then tracked its path through the plants and the soil. Their results showed that after ...
