- In this paper we report measurements concerning the conductivity of water and ions and the interaction between the two in excised pieces of xylem of red maple stems under various conditions. We have also demonstrated that it is possible to detect the flow of solutions through the stems of maple by measuring the degree of interaction between the flow of water and ions.
