Finding the habitat of an invisible plant
Finding a suitable habitat for Rafflesia arnoldii is difficult. While it produces the single largest flower on the planet, it's invisible for much of its life.

It’s all connected: modeling water potential and plant physiological processes
"As water potential is regarded the best indicator of plant water status, because it is the integrated result of above- and below-ground environmental conditions, it holds promise as a pivotal model variable to which...
