The surface waters of the ocean are the largest sink for tritium. Transfer into the surface ocean occurs by water vapor exchange, precipitation and continental run-off (e.g., Weiss et al. 1979 Weiss and Roether 1980). Most of the nuclear weapons tests were performed in the northern hemisphere, leading to a strong asymmetry in the global north-south distribution of bomb tritium in the ocean surface waters. Concentrations in the northern hemisphere are relatively high compared to those in the southern hemisphere (Weiss and Roether 1980 Fig. 1). 

The absolute water loss (M/1) from either Liquiscint or TT-21 in air increases linearly as percent water increases up to 30% (not shown). Absolute water loss tends toward a plateau between 30 and 55% water. Horrocks (1976b) has shown that in toluene based solutions, as the water content increases from 0 to 15-25% the number of water micelles increases whereas their size remains constant. This will produce a linear increase in total micellar surface area which in turn will linearly increase total water efflux out of the solution as evidenced in the present experiments. If the volume of the micelles increases, the surface area/volume ratio decreases and less surface area relative to total water volume will be available for water vapor exchange. This could account for the plateau above 30% water. However, other factors such as changes in the nature of the phase contact between the solvent and water and/or restriction of water mobility in the more rigid gel matrix may also be significant in limiting water efflux (Benson, personal communication).

Provided that the magnitude of cuticular transpiration is insignificant (which is true in the majority of CAM plants), the transpiration rate is a convenient indicator of the diffusive capacity of stomata. Hence, it is reasonable to consider the properties of transpiration as observed in CAM plants in terms of stomatal movements, and vice versa. In this chapter, we will therefore mainly detail the current knowledge of stomata in CAM plants. The ecological implications of water vapor exchange of CAM plants will be discussed in detail in Chapter 6.
