Abstract

Adult trees, with their extended transpiration surfaces and their elaborate water carrying system that ranges from the roots to their leaves, provide some of the best examples of organizational systems. A tree does not allow itself to lose water and swiftly reacts to any danger of drought by targeting a balanced water household. Excessive transpiration only takes place at the crown of the tree when the water supply is plentiful.1
