Title: Water (H2O) - Tree Essential Element
Description: Eighty percent (80%) of all materials in a living tree is water taken from soil, with minute amounts taken directly from the atmosphere and precipitation. Life on Earth is a function of water, geology, atmosphere, and genetics. Life extracts materials in many forms from the Earth system and generates more complex materials using energy derived from chemical transformations and sunlight. The foundation of Earth’s ecology rests primarily with sunlight capturing and material-extracting green plants -- and water.
