Which mechanism causes leaf temperature increase when submerged aquatic plant stomata close during an algal bloom?

💡 Explanation

When stomata close during algal blooms, reduced gas exchange prevents normal transpiration because the latent heat of vaporization can't remove excess heat leading to leaf temp increase. Therefore, reduced evaporative cooling results, ratherthan others which need different conditions like changes in metabolic rates or radiation.
