A new study led by scientists at Chapman University provides the first comprehensive global estimates of the amount of water stored in Earth 's plants and the time it takes for that water to flow through them.

Earth 's vegetation stores about 786 km3 of water, only about 0.002% of the total amount of freshwater stored on Earth .

The transit of water through plants is particularly fast in croplands, grasslands and savannas.
