What factors affect Transpiration?

Light Intensity: The brighter the light is, the greater the transpiration rate is. It also increases Photosynthesis as the stomata lets CO2 in. When its dark, the stomata closes as Photosynthesis cant happen without light. This also means water cant escape. Temperature: The warmer it is, the faster transpiration happens. This is because the water particles have more energy and can evaporate and diffuse quicker Air Movement: If its more windy, transpiration happens faster. This is because the water vapor is carried away therefore making the outside still being less concentrated. However if there is no wind, the water vapor will stay there and balance out the concentration gradient which will therefore slow down transpiration. [Diffusion]
