  1. Water Regulation and Adaptation Chap. 6 I. Water potential A. components B. water flow II. Water balance A. water loss B. water gain III. Regulation & Adaptations – plants & animals A. Terrestrial B. Aquatic 1. Isoosmotic 2. Hypoosmotic 3. Hyperosmotic

  2. Which way does water flow?

  3. Questions • How do you get water to the top of a 300 ft. tall redwood tree? • Why is soil under some trees more wet in the morning than the previous afternoon? Hint: it comes from the roots, not from rainfall. • Why are salmon so spectacular physiologically? (what makes going from fresh to salt water and back again so remarkable)?

  4. Global Warming effects – change in precipitation

  5. I. Water potential (Ψ) • The components • Ψ = Ψp + Ψs + Ψm + Ψg

  6. B. Water flow Example – up a tree, down a water potential gradient Units = MPa Soil Y: Lower, more negative

  7. Tension-cohesion mechanism

  8. Effect of water content on soil water Ψ

  9. Effect of water content on soil Ψ: different soil types

  10. Effect of Relative Humidity on Air Ψ • S&R Fig.4-10

  11. Hydraulic lift

  12. II. Water balance DW = Wg - Wl

  13. A. Water loss - Terrestrial organisms • 1. Evaporation

  14. Vapor pressure deficit (VPD)

  15. B. Water gain • Drinking/root uptake • Uptake via body surface • Water in food • Oxidation (metabolic water) DW = Wg - Wl

  16. http://www.calmzoo.org/stories/storyReader$229 III. Regulation & Adaptations • Terrestrial – high potential for water loss • 1. Intake – metabolic water

  18. 2. Storage

  19. 3. Loss • Physiological Schmidt-Neilson 1995

  20. 3. Loss Wilting • Behavioral – reduce surface area phenology

  21. 3. Loss • Linked behavior/morphology • - vapor-limited evaporation • - membrane-limited evaporation

  22. Fig. 5.17 Fig. 5.16 Tiger beetles – cuticle thickness in different habitats

  23. 3. Loss • Linked behavior/morphology • - vapor-limited evaporation • - membrane-limited evaporation - Sclerophylls

  24. 4. Linked Temperature And Water Adaptations C3, C4, and CAM photosynthesis

  25. C3 Photosynthesis http://www.digitalfrog.com/resources/archives/leaf.jpg

  26. C4 Distribution

  27. CAM Photosynthesis

  28. B. Aquatic – 5 Questions • 1. Terms: Iso-osmotic (isomotic), hypo-osmotic (hyposmotic), hyperosmotic. • 2. To what situations do these refer? • 3. What do animals (fish, invertebrates) need to do in marine environments to maintain their water and salt balances? • 4. What do animals (fish, inverts.) need to do in freshwater environments to maintain their water and salt balances? • 5. What about anadromous fish such as salmon? How must their physiology change when migrating from fresh to salt water and vice versa?

  29. Isosmotic

  30. Saltwater – hypo-osmotic

  31. Freshwater – hyperosmotic

  32. C4 Photosynthesis
