Which outcome results when water temperature increase reduces xylem adhesion?

💡 Explanation

Higher temperatures reduce water's surface tension, affecting xylem vessel walls via cohesion-tension mechanism, because water molecules cannot adhere effectively; therefore, it increases the risk of cavitation and the transpiration failure, rather than improving nutrient supply.
