Which outcome occurs when transpiration exceeds water uptake in saplings?

💡 Explanation

Increased transpiration exceeds vascular capability, therefore cavitation occurs as xylem tension surpasses its limit; this disrupts water transport via the cohesion-tension mechanism, rather than maintaining existing pressure or alternate plant transport.
