Show well as on temperature and dryness of the air, wind movement, the intensity of sunlight, the stage of the development of the plant, the amount of its foliage, and the nature of its leaf. The effect of sunshine and heat in stimulating transpiration was studied as early as 1691, according to a review of the literature by Cleveland Abbe.11 Measurements of transpiration of various kinds of plants by L. J. Briggs and H. L. Shantz indicate a close correlation between transpiration and evaporation from free water surfaces, air temperature, solar radiation, and wet-bulb depression readings.12 Scientists have made many other studies of the effects of temperature moisture and light on plant growth.13 n"A First Report of the Relations Between Climates and Crops, by Cleveland Abbe, Bulletin No. 36, Weather Bureau, U.
