Temperature
|
|
|
Light intensity
|
|
|
Air movement
|
|
|
Wind direction

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Humidity, Temperature, Atmospheric pressure, Wind speed or velocity.
Detailed explanation-2: -Several factors can affect the rate of transpiration, including temperature, humidity, air movement, and light intensity.
Detailed explanation-3: -Windy air contributes to evaporation. As wind speed increases, plants react by upping their rate of transpiration, which is the plant’s loss of water as it’s absorbed through the roots, up to the leaves, and out the leaves as it evaporates. More than 90 percent of the water a plant absorbs is lost by transpiration.
