Detailed explanation-1: -Wind speed affects transpiration when it increases the water movement on the lead surface. High winds increase water evaporation, and thus the plant may choose to transpire less (close its stomata) during windy conditions, to preserve water.
Detailed explanation-2: -Water stress, high temperatures, and high carbon dioxide concentration causes stomata to close. Figure 17.1. 2.2.
Detailed explanation-3: -Especially in hot and dry environments, the stomata will remain closed to conserve water. During the day, when there is available sunlight for photosynthesis, the stomata will be open. During the night, the stomata will be closed. In a very hot and dry environment, the stomata will be closed.
Detailed explanation-4: -Transpiration is the process of evaporation of water through aerial parts of the plant. The rate is high when the soil is wet and the air is dry. More items
