Which outcome occurs when vessel element cavitation interrupts cohesion-tension?

💡 Explanation

Decreased xylem sap nutrient transport occurs because the cohesion-tension mechanism for water potential relies on uninterrupted hydrogen bonds; cavitation breaks this tensile force. Root pressure helps some, but is too weak, therefore nutrient concentration decreases, rather than maintaining flow through stomatal closure.
