← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome reduces surface water availability near forests?
A)Intense root xylem transport capacity loss
B)Increased cuticular wax production decline
C)Reduced guard cell turgor limit
D)Enhanced rate of evapotranspiration rise✓
💡 Explanation
Evapotranspiration moves soil moisture causing decreased catchment yield due to increased aerial transport because it actively moves water to the atmosphere. This is the cohesion-tension mechanism; therefore water near the surface decreases, rather than a cuticular problems which retain existing water.
