Extracting the water in a forest canopy produces a thin film of about a mm. The air above the canopy holds a cm of liquid, while the soil holds a few times that: Guess which dominates the transient behavior of the Soil-Plant-Atmosphere-Continuum? https://t.co/EdQXB8sUER

So glad this work is out!

During the pandemic I decided to 'think beyond the plant' and learn some soil physics: "Emergence of a maximum soil flux under drought governs stomatal responsiveness to vapor pressure deficit over sub-daily and daily timescales." It is up on bioRxiv: https://t.co/Dv1ZpvaReh
