Environmental factors determine the rate of transpiration in plant leaves
the verdict
SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
confidence 85/100
Multiple studies demonstrate that environmental factors such as temperature, light intensity, vapor pressure deficit, and water availability directly determine and regulate the rate of transpiration in plant leaves.
