What are the 5 factors affecting transpiration?The environmental factors affecting the rate of transpiration are:. Light,. Humidity,. Temperature,. Atmospheric pressure,. Wind speed or velocity.. How do plants reduce the rate of transpiration?Some plants possess stomata that are sunken into the leaf surface, dramatically increasing the boundary layer and slowing transpiration. Boundary layers increase as leaf size increases, reducing rates of transpiration as well.
What affects the rate of transpiration?Factors that affect transpiration in plants
Any condition that affects the rate of evaporation or photosynthesis will affect the rate of transpiration and therefore the environment plays a large role. The light intensity, temperature, humidity, wind and water supply will all affect the transpiration rate.
