Modeling xylem and phloem water flows in trees according to cohesion theory and Münch hypothesis (2005, background): “It has been shown in previous studies (Ferrier et al. 1975; Thompson and Holbrook 2004) that “information” about local changes in sugar concentration or turgor pressure, can travel considerably faster than the actual bulk solution itself.”
Soil respiration in perennial grass and shrub ecosystems: Linking environmental controls with plant and microbial sources on seasonal and diel timescales (2008, background): “…plants, with the initiation of photosynthesis and phloem loading in the early morning hours, that the translocation of new assimilates and/or the propagation of pressure and concentration fronts could produce the rapid substrate supply available for soil respiration [ Thompson and Holbrook , 2004].”
REVIEW: Time lag between photosynthesis and carbon dioxide efflux from soil: a review of mechanisms and controls (2010, background): “Pressure– concentration waves move several orders of magnitude faster than the solution and molecules themselves (Thompson & Holbrook, 2004; Thompson, 2005; Davidson & Holbrook, 2009).”
