Which change in CAM plants occurs when soil salinity is high and water is scarce?

💡 Explanation

When soil salinity and water scarcity are both high, the CAM pathway shifts primarily to daytime because Crassulacean acid metabolism becomes less efficient limiting nocturnal CO₂ uptake compared to daytime capabilities; therefore, CO₂ fixation occurs mainly during the daytime, rather than at night.
