Which outcome commonly coincides with reduced water availability affecting stomatal function in plants?

💡 Explanation

When water availability decreases, abscisic acid triggers stomatal closure to conserve water, because transpiration, which cools the leaf, is reduced, leading to elevated leaf surface temperature. Therefore increased surface temperature results, rather than increased photosynthetic efficiency, unregulated nitrogen uptake, or accelerated nutrient transport, which are independent processes.
