Garden with Insight v1.0 Help: Plant daily water group


Potential transpiration today: Transpiration from this plant today before considering the actual amount of water in the soil, root biomass distribution, and competition with other plants.

Water demand today: The amount of water demanded by this plant from each soil layer considering the amount of water in the soil layers the plant's root reach, but not considering competition with other plants in the soil patch.

Water use today: The amount of water taken from the soil by this plant today by soil layer. Depends on root biomass distribution in the soil layers, transpiration, and competition with other plants in the same soil patch.

Cumulative potential transpiration: The total potential transpiration of this plant during its lifetime. Potential transpiration is an upper bound -- how much would occur if the plant were short and uniform in height, completely shaded the ground (LAI > 1.0), and had plenty of water.

Cumulative water use: The total amount of water taken from the soil by this plant by transpiration during its lifetime.
