Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Water Requirement of Plants, Vol. 2: A Review of the Literature
The review Of the literature relating to the water requirement Of plants here presented was begun in connection with the writers' investigations on this subject in the Great Plains. The literature proved to be much more extensive than was anticipated, and it has consequently seemed desirable to present independently a summary Of the investigations bearing on this subject, particularly since some of the papers are not readily accessible and since a review Of the whole subject has apparently not been undertaken heretofore. In reviewing the papers it has appeared desirable to group them with reference to the various factors which affect the water requirement. When more than one phase Of the subject is dealt with in the same paper, the special material relating to each phase Of the work has been con sidered in its appropriate place. In summarizing the papers the endeavor has been to give in tabular form the essential data of each investigation. This will enable the reader to draw his own conclusions from the experimental results independently Of any interpretation which the writers may have given.
