← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when a rainforest tree's transpiration decreases?
A)Reduced water & nutrient transport✓
B)Increased xylem structural integrity
C)Elevated environmental humidity gradient
D)Enhanced stomatal osmotic regulation
💡 Explanation
Reduced leaf transpiration lowers the transpiration pull; because this generates tension via water cohesion, xylem sap ascent slows, therefore nutrient and water transport decreases rather than other effects, due to the reduced driving force.
