"Plants are the forgotten part of the global water cycle," said Felton. "In many cases, plants are not even represented on water cycle diagrams, which is ironic because we already know they play ...

The transit of water through plants is particularly fast in croplands, grasslands and savannas. The results underscore vegetation's dynamic role in the water cycle. In comparison to the global ...
