  2. The humidity of the atmosphere affects the rate of diffusion of water vapor from the stomata.
  3. Low humidity in the atmosphere increases the rate of transpiration.
  4. High humidity in the air reduces the rate of outward diffusion of water from the sub-stomatal cavity and reduces the rate of transpiration.
