Detailed explanation-1: -Humidity: Increase in humidity decreases the transpiration rate.
Detailed explanation-2: -When there is high humidity in the atmosphere transpiration rate will be low.
Detailed explanation-3: -Transpiration varies based on vegetation, with the maximum amount coming from rainforests (70%) and the minimum coming from steppe and desert (51%). Differences in transpiration can be attributed to geographic location, season, time of day, and cloud cover.
Detailed explanation-4: -As the relative humidity of the air surrounding the plant rises the transpiration rate decreases. It is easier for water to evaporate into dryer air than into more saturated air.
Detailed explanation-5: -Increased humidity has a reduces transpiration. The lower the humidity the easier it is for the plant to release water. The type of plant is also a factor in how much a plant will transpire. For example plants grow in arid hot areas such as the desert will transpire less as they aim to conserve water.
