Which outcome occurs to xylem transport when stomatal resistance significantly increases in an oak tree?

💡 Explanation

Increasing stomatal resistance reduces transpiration because the cohesion-tension mechanism relies on water evaporation from leaves to pull water up the xylem. Therefore, the transpiration stream decreases, rather than root pressure increasing, as root pressure is generally weaker.
