Amazon trees support the production of their own rain

quote [ Most water used for transpiration in the dry season did not come from deep reserves, but from shallow soil. In a year without extreme drought or floods, 69 per cent of transpiration on the hill and 46 per cent in the valley came from the top 50 centimetres of soil. ]

Interesting data on how ecosystem circulation works.
