Which consequence happens if plant transpiration reduces in mangrove habitats experiencing high salinity and humidity?

💡 Explanation

Toxic salts accumulate. Active salt excretion helps in salinity, but decreased transpiration lowers the water gradient driving guttation; therefore, salt is not removed and builds up in leaves, causing toxicity, rather than efficient osmotic balance.
