Increased airflow (wind) enhances transpiration rate by removing water vapor from the leaf surface, maintaining a steep concentration gradient for diffusion.
Como o fluxo de ar afeta a taxa de transpiração? Vento mais forte significa maior taxa de transpiração porque se não houver vento, o vapor de água circunda a folha, significando que há uma alta concentração fora da folha e a difusão acontece lentamente.

|---|---|
| Back | Stronger wind means greater transpiration rate because if there is no wind, the water vapour surrounds the leaf meaning there is a high concentration outside the leaf and diffusion happens slowly. |
