Low humidity increases transpiration by creating a steep water concentration gradient between the inside of the leaf and the atmosphere, causing water vapor to diffuse out at a faster rate.
Låg luftfuktighet ökar transpirationen genom att skapa en brant vattenkoncentrationsgradient mellan bladets insida och atmosfären, vilket gör att vattenånga diffunderar ut snabbare.
| Front | Describe the effects of humidity in transpiration |
|---|---|
| Back | -Low humidity = Little water vapour in the air
-Means there is a steep water concentration between inside of leaf + atmosphere
-So water vapour diffuses out of leaf at faster rate |
