Description:Excerpt from The Water-Relation Between Plant and Soil The work of Dixon and his colleagues, and that of Renner, of Overton, and others have at length placed upon what appears to be a rational physical basis the long-vexed question of the dynamics of the ascent of water in plants, and recent studies of the relation of the evaporating power of the air and that of sunshine to plant transpiration have made it possible at least to begin to consider the problems of the aerial water relation of plants as involving measurable forces or powers. Our knowledge of the subterranean water-relation of plants remains, however, in an exceedingly primitive condition, although the a priori analysis of the problem here involved may be carried forward beyond the ability of present methods to furnish experimental data. Livingston has insisted that the power of the soil to deliver water to root surfaces is the prime external condition determining the moisture supply to plants in non-saline and non-toxic soils, and the same writer has emphasized the need of some adequate method for determining this water-supplying power of the soil.
