Water use in plants Why measure water use? Biomass production is directly proportional to plant water status and the supply and use of water, particularly its effect on root and leaf...
Sep 15, 2006 · The various measures of water status used in plant and soil science are reviewed and their appropriateness for different purposes such as for studies of mechanistic effects of water deficits on plants, for breeding of drought-tolerant plants, or for management of irrigation systems are reviewed.

Mar 9, 2023 · The aim of the present review was to reconsider basic information about various functional aspects related to plant water content and provide evidence that the usefulness of absolute water content measurements is undervalued in plant biology experiments.
Apr 28, 2021 · This historical review starts at the whole plant level, where WUE can be simply measured by quantifying the amount of water given to a plant and the plant’s increase in biomass during the experiment.

Feb 18, 2022 · Sharing water quality data is especially critical for the management of international and transboundary water bodies and for determining water quality at a global scale.
In the surface water, DO is often used a proxy measure of primary productivity, as plants produce oxygen by photosynthesis, whereas DO concentration in stratified waters, below the photic zone, is an important state variable for benthic organisms.

The following is only a partial survey of methods for characterizing the water status in plants. For more complete information, two outstanding reviews on measurement of water status in plants are by Slatyer and Shmueli (1967) and Barrs (1968). Download to read the full chapter text.
