Which process reduces plant available phosphorous uptake during transpiration?

A)Mycorrhizal association phosphorus mobilization
B)Root interception bypassing immobile anions
C)Diffusion gradient depletion around roots
D)Cation exchange capacity alteration at roots

💡 Explanation

Diffusion slows phosphorus flow to roots because of transpiration reducing available phosphorus in the immediate soil volume, therefore immobile phosphorus uptake in plants falls behind evapotranspiration rather than being absorbed effectively by the roots which can mobilize other nutrients.
