The value of the observed phenomenon of condensation of atmospheric moisture by cooling the plant leaves and shoots to a temperature below the dew point is largely determined by climatic parameters. Comparison of the deviation of the average monthly temperature of the dew point in the different regions of the world allows us to assert the universality of the phenomenon, with the exception of the continental arid areas with low relative humidity. It's enough to make a difference between the value of the air temperature and dew point temperature did not exceed 10 ° C, which is typical even for a number of deserts near the coastal area. Virtually the entire range of climatic conditions of the Earth, at positive temperatures of air and soil, i.e., during the growing season, the plants always have the ability to remove atmospheric moisture and translate it into a liquid state, available for use. A study of the diversity of the plant adaptation mechanisms that contribute to lowering the surface temperature and the absorption of condensate will allow us in the future to carry out introduction, genetic modification or selection of plants with the most visible effect of lowering the temperature and the least dependence on insolation. |
