Ideas in this flowchart

  • Water potential
  • Measures the ability of water to do work and indirectly indicates its availability to plants.
  • Components of water potential
  • Matric potential results from attraction to soil particles.
  • Osmotic potential results from dissolved salts.
  • Pressure potential
  • Gravitational potential
  • Water movement
  • Water moves from areas of higher water potential toward areas of lower water potential.
  • Movement continues until equilibrium is reached.

"Water potential measures the ability of water to do work and indirectly indicates how available it is to plants. It includes matric potential from attraction to soil particles, osmotic potential from dissolved salts, pressure potential, and gravitational potential. Water moves from areas of higher water potential toward areas of lower water potential until equilibrium is reached."
