Abstract
The contribution summarises different aspects of the involvement of plants in the water cycle at organism, ecosystem and landscape levels. It stresses the importance of soil – plant – air water continuum for local water cycling and plant adaptations for optimised water management. It discusses the fate of precipitation that depends on vegetation type, stand structure, land use, soil properties and precipitation rate. The possibilities for strengthening local water cycling are also presented.
