All plants live in a habitat that provides the factors the plant needs to survive. However, sometimes there is not enough or too much of a resource for a plant to grow normally. Some of the resources that can affect plant growth are:

  • water

  • nutrients

  • light


In this lesson, you will learn some of the ways that these resources affect the way plants grow. Continue on to learn about how water affects plants.

​***Transpiration plays an important role in the water cycle. A study of rainfall patterns in the Amazon River Basin found that when trees were cut down, 69% less rain fell in the area. The transpiration from the trees produced most of the rainfall for tropical rainforests. Transpiration plays a vital role in global climate. ***

WOAH!
