  2. Guttation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guttation

    At night, transpiration usually does not occur, because most plants have their stomata closed. When there is a high soil moisture level, water will enter plant roots, because the water potential of the roots is lower than in the soil solution. The water will accumulate in the plant, creating a slight root pressure.

  3. Phytolith - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytolith

    Plants affected by mosaic disease experienced a decrease in phytolith size. This is because the virus constricts overall plant growth and therefore phytolith growth as well. Contrastingly, plants affected with bacterial wilt disease resulted in much larger phytoliths but they were abnormally shaped. This could be due to the bacteria causing ...

  4. Fertilizer burn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertilizer_burn

    Fertilizer can be reintroduced slowly to allow for slow, healthy recovery. Water the plant heavily to wash the accumulation of salt away. [11] If a plant is burnt due to drought-like circumstances, the soil may be dry, and the plant will appear wilted. The best option in terms of recovery is to water the plant with more water, maintaining damp ...

  5. Biogeochemical cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biogeochemical_cycle

    In the water cycle, the universal solvent water evaporates from land and oceans to form clouds in the atmosphere, and then precipitates back to different parts of the planet. Precipitation can seep into the ground and become part of groundwater systems used by plants and other organisms, or can runoff the surface to form lakes and rivers ...

  6. Nutrient cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutrient_cycle

    A nutrient cycle (or ecological recycling) is the movement and exchange of inorganic and organic matter back into the production of matter. Energy flow is a unidirectional and noncyclic pathway, whereas the movement of mineral nutrients is cyclic.

  7. Pyrolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrolysis

    In many settings, some amounts of oxygen, water, or other substances may be present, so that combustion, hydrolysis, or other chemical processes may occur besides pyrolysis proper. Sometimes those chemicals are added intentionally, as in the burning of firewood , in the traditional manufacture of charcoal , and in the steam cracking of crude oil.

    Both plants are found in parts of the United States, and their sap, “in combo with moisture and sun,” can cause irritation, burning and scarring if touched. ‘Don’t touch these plants ...

  9. Photorespiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photorespiration

    This ability to avoid photorespiration makes these plants more hardy than other plants in dry and hot environments, wherein stomata are closed and internal carbon dioxide levels are low. Under these conditions, photorespiration does occur in C 4 plants, but at a much lower level compared with C 3 plants in the same
