Wind increases transpiration by removing the layer of saturated air from the leaf surface, creating a steeper water concentration gradient and faster diffusion of water vapor.
Vind ökar transpirationen genom att avlägsna den mättade luftens skikt från bladytan, vilket skapar en brantare vattenkoncentrationsgradient och snabbare diffusion av vattenånga.
| Front | Describe the effects of wind in transpiration |
|---|---|
| Back | -Increasing wind removes layer of saturated air from surface of leaves
-Steeper water concentration gradient
-Water vapour diffuses out of stomata at a faster rate
-Increasing the rate of evaporation/transpiration |
