Transpiration rates are influenced by several factors: high humidity slows it, while wind increases it by reducing humidity. Increased light intensity boosts photosynthesis, thus raising transpiration, and closed stomata halt the process entirely.
Factors affecting rates of transpiration - high humidity slows transpiration, low slows it down- wind reduces humidity, raised transpiration rates- higher light intensity increases photosynthesis, increasing water vapor transpiration rates- closing stomates stops transpiration
