Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Wind & air movement: Increased movement of the air around a plant will result in a higher transpiration rate. Wind will move the air around, with the result that the more saturated air close to the leaf is replaced by drier air.
Detailed explanation-2: -Variables Affecting Transpiration Rates The rate at which transpiration occurs is varied based on temperature, air movement such as wind, how much moisture is in the soil and surrounding air, the type of plant and land use.
