With no restriction on flow, water will move from the locus of greater potential (pure water) to the locus of lesser (the solution); flow proceeds until the difference in potential is equalized or balanced by another water potential factor, such as pressure or elevation.Soil moisture is an abiotic factor that affects sapling growth because water is needed for photosynthesis, nutrient transport, and maintaining turgor pressure. Saplings depend on adequate moisture for healthy development, but too little water causes wilting and reduced growth,
