How temperature, light intensity and wind affect transpiration?

Open in App

Solution

Temperature-During hot day water will quickly evaporate from the leaves of the plant. This increases transpiration.
Light intensity-In bright light the plant may open its stomata to supply plenty of carbon dioxide for photosynthesis where more water can evaporate from the leaves.
Wind-On windy day water evaporates more quickly than on a still day. Transpiration increases as wind speed increases.
