XII. On the ascent of sap
Open accessAbstract
Many theories have been formed to account for the ascent of sap in high trees, when root pressure is not acting. All have been found, on careful examination, unsatisfactory. Our attention was particularly directed to the problem as we were together in Bonn, in the Summer of 1893, when Professor E. Strasburger was kind enough to show us some of his experiments on the question, and since then we have, at intervals, occupied ourselves with some considerations as to the cause of the ascent of liquids in trees. It was not, however, till late last Spring that we had leisure to enter definitely on the research. We wish to acknowledge the kindness of Professor E. Perceval Wright in giving us the benefit of his advice on all occasions, and also the advantage we derived from Professor G. F. FitzGerald’s suggestive ideas.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
