• Label: Leaf transpiration rate per unit leaf area, in the dark
• Entity URI: https://w3id.org/APD/traits/trait_0020663
• Type: numeric
• Definition: The transpiration [ENVO:02500035] rate [PATO:0000161] of plant leaves [PO:0025034] in the dark (absence of any photosynthetically active radiation [ENVO:01001864]) and exposed to ambient atmospheric carbon dioxide [ENVO:01000451] concentrations [PATO:0000033], recorded per unit leaf area [PATO:0001323]. Transpiration rate is the rate at which plants lose water [CHEBI:15377] vapor [NCIT:C63390] through their stomata [PO:0008032].;The rate of water loss from a leaf in the dark (no photosynthetically active radiation) and ambient carbon dioxide concentrations, recorded per unit leaf area.
• Additional comments: None
• units: mmol{H2O}/m2/s
• allowable range: 0.0001 - 10 mmol{H2O}/m2/s
