Which xylem vessel consequence develops under elevated leaf temperatures?

💡 Explanation

Increased leaf temperature enhances water evaporation rate, forming vapor bubbles. This causes cavitation to disrupt the pulling force in xylem tracheids, because cohesion-tension stalls, and therefore decreases water transport, rather than other effects on root pressure.
