Abstract:For studies into the uptake of mercury vapor by wheat (Tridcum aesdvum), a simple theory and plant chamber were employed to esdimate total leaf resistance of whole plants to water vapor exchange.The estimates were independent of kaf temperature, for which mean values were Indbectly determined. The approach involved the measurement, at steady-state conditions, of the net change in water vapor flux per unt of leaf surface (Aqp) The uptake of mercury vapor by plants is a long established phenomenon (7). This is… Show more

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
