- Method / resource The mechanism model predicted an exponential fall in concentration with stem height.
- Method / resource Model output correlated well with experimental results.
- Method / resource Calibration yielded effective diffusivities for TCE in plant tissue.
- Method / resource The simplified model approximated TCE concentrations in transpiration streams and volatilization.
