Which risk increases when stomata close due to salinity?

A)Reduced xylem water column diameter
B)Decreased osmotic potential gradient
C)Interrupted transpiration pull mechanism
D)Accelerated nutrient transport in phloem

💡 Explanation

Interrupted transpiration in leaves creates cavitation; because reduced water cohesion impairs the transpiration pull mechanism, water & nutrient supply decreases. Therefore, this happens rather than pholem increasing, gradients changing and xylem varying directly.
