FUTUR BALANCEPlant Transpiration (Stream Flow)

Plant transpiration is the largest continental water flux.

Research now shows that climate and water availability

projections are highly sensitive to the ways that plant

responses to changing atmospheric conditions are

represented.

a) Present day conditions, where half of land precipitation is transpired

by plants, and most residual water eventually replenishes streamflow.

b) One potential impact of increases in vegetation density arising from

CO2 fertilization of the terrestrial biosphere is increased transpiration

and reduced stream flow.

c) One potential impact of higher plant water use efficiencies , where

plants transpire less water per unit of CO2 taken up, is declining

transpiration rates- this leaves a larger proportion of precipitation to

become streamflow.
