* 2006-01-13, Sciencedaily: Deep-rooted Plants Have Much Greater Impact On Climate Than Experts Thought Citat: "... The tap roots transfer rainwater from the surface to reservoirs deep underground and redistribute water ... increases photosynthesis and the evaporation of water ... by 40 percent in the dry season ... During the wet season, these plants can store as much as 10 percent of the annual precipitation as deep as 13 meters ( 43 feet ) underground, to be tapped during the dry months ... tree roots acting like pipes to allow water to shift around much faster than it could otherwise percolate through the soil ..."
