Potential study of water extraction from selected plants

Water is absorbed by the roots of a plant and transported subsequently as a liquid to all parts of the plant before being released into the atmosphere as transpiration. In this study, seven(7)selected plant species collected from urban, rural and forested areas were studied and characterized. The wa...
