Detailed explanation-1: -Light. Plants transpire more rapidly in the light than in the dark. Temperature. Plants transpire more rapidly at higher temperatures because water evaporates more rapidly as the temperature rises. Humidity. Wind. Soil water.
Detailed explanation-2: -Transpiration increases with increasing air temperature and wind velocity. At constant temperature and wind velocity, transpiration rate is governed by moisture content of air. Transpiration also increases with decreasing relative humidty at constant wind velocity.
Detailed explanation-3: -Transpiration is the evaporation of water from plants that occurs in the leaves during photosynthesis, when stomata open and CO2 and O2 pass through. As the temperature rises, the water evaporates faster, so plants sweat faster at higher temperatures.
Detailed explanation-4: -Various environmental factors, such as the presence of light, relative humidity, temperature, wind speed, availability of water, and cellular factors like the orientation of leaves, number of stomata, cuticles, and lenticels affect transpiration.
Detailed explanation-5: -temperature. humidity. air movement. light intensity.
