Abstract
The metabolic and physical processes result in concentration, pressure and temperature differences that generate fluxes within ecosystems and between ecosystems and their surroundings. We apply the same approach combining metabolic and physical processes with transport in the analysis of very different phenomena from water and sugar transport within trees to the fluxes of carbon and nutrients in the forest ecosystem.

Notes
- 1.
A lysimeter is a measuring device which can be used to measure the amount of actual evapotranspiration which is released by plants, usually crops or trees. By recording the amount of precipitation that an area receives and the amount lost through the soil, the amount of water lost to evapotranspiration can be calculated.
- 2.
A thermal radiator capable of providing a spectrum dependent on the temperature alone according to Planck’s law is called a full radiator. The law states that the energy emission of the black body is proportional to the fourth power of its absolute temperature.
