When the stomata pores are open water vapour diffuses out into the atmosphere. Transpiration Cooling Energy is needed to evaporate liquid water into water vapour. ... The heat island in cities is caused by several factors and reduced transpiration by vegetation is an important part of the heat island.May 13, 2011
Transpiration by leaves controls the leaf temperature and may have an effect in the atmosphere. However, the temperature in soil profiles rapidly reaches a steady state with depth.
Paul:) Thanks for the comment. You said that "the temperature in soil profiles" - This means the temperature of the soil. What about the temperature of the atmosphere? Does it reaches a steady state? There is a continuous transfer of the factors affecting temperature. I don't mean the temperature of the soil. I mean the temperature of the atmosphere due to the soil. Thank you! :)
