Reduced leaves help xerophytes by decreasing leaf area and the SA:V ratio, minimizing the diffusion rate and thus the transpiration rate.
Las hojas reducidas ayudan a los xerófitos al disminuir el área foliar y la relación SA:V, minimizando la tasa de difusión y, por lo tanto, la tasa de transpiración.
