Source of Sustained Voltage Difference between the Xylem of a Potted Ficus benjamina Tree and Its Soil

It has long been known that there is a sustained electrical potential (voltage) difference between the xylem of many plants and their surrounding soil, but the mechanism behind this voltage has remained controversial. After eliminating any extraneous capacitive or inductive couplings and ground-me...
