Abstract

J. Woodward's experiments, conducted nearly 300 years ago, were the first quantitative study relating plant growth to transpiration. They established the role of the soil solution in plant nutrition and of plant size and environmental heat on transpiration. Possible reasons for the neglect of Woodward's pioneer contributions are discussed.
