plant-hydraulics
Plant hydraulics is the study of how water moves through a plant's vascular system, from root uptake through the stem to leaf transpiration. Understanding this transport network is critical for plant science because it governs drought tolerance, nutrient delivery, and overall growth efficiency. Researchers use hydraulic measurements to reveal how plants regulate water loss and maintain function under environmental stress.
