How does water move through plants to get to the top of tall trees? Here we describe the pathways and mechanisms driving water uptake and transport through plants, and causes of flow disruption.

Fully turgid cells support the stems of non-woody plants. In a very concentrated solution, the cell undergoes full plasmolysis as the cells lose more water. Plants would be exposed to higher ...

Dr. Reeves’ research involves applied and theoretical investigations of fluid flow, heat and solute transport in various types of porous media, with a specialty in fractured rock systems. His research ...
