Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plant World, 1908, Vol. 2: A Monthly Journal of General Botany In a previous paper* attention has been called to the fact that, since the evaporating power of the air to a great extent controls the rate of water loss from plants, this climatic factcir plays a prime role in inhibiting the growth of many forms in arid regions. It was shown that a number of plants fail to develop normally during the dry season at Tucson, Arizona, although the soil in which they are rooted is kept approximately at its optimum water content. The purpose of the present paper is to call attention to the fact that the evaporating power of the air also appears to play an import ant part in the determination of the vegetation Which can best succeed in different but neighboring habitats in the same region.

The amount of moisture present in the soil is controlled, excepting in these comparatively restricted areas where the subterranean water table is relatively near the surface, by the relation between rainfall and evaporation, and it is doubtless partly through this indirect influence of the latter clement, as well as through the direct action of evaporation upon the plant, that this relation is so satisfactory as a differentiator between great centers of plant distribution.
