Transpiration rate is high in dry climates because the low water content in the air creates a larger concentration gradient with the leaf's interior, speeding up diffusion.
Le taux de transpiration est élevé dans les climats secs car la faible concentration d'eau dans l'air crée une plus grande différence de concentration avec l'intérieur de la feuille, accélérant la diffusion.
| Front | Why is transpiration rate high around dry climates? |
|---|---|
| Back | If the air is dry there is not much water in it, so there is a bigger difference between the inside and the outside of the leaf. Diffusion happens faster from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. |
