Subject: transpiration vs water budget

I am a geology grad student who is considering a project on plant
interaction in surficial aquifers and I need some info.  For groundwater
modeling, a term called "evapotranspiration" is used to describe water
released to the air from both soils and plants.  But my question is: of
the water taken up by plants, how much of it is used for biological
processes and how much is transpired?   Any sources of reference would
be greatly appreciated.

Look for the following reference:
