Several factors influence the rate of transpiration, including:
- Light Intensity: Higher light levels increase the rate of photosynthesis, causing stomata to open and thus increasing transpiration. - Temperature: Elevated temperatures enhance water evaporation from the leaf surface. - Humidity: Lower humidity levels create a steeper gradient for water vapor diffusion, accelerating transpiration. - Wind: Wind removes the boundary layer of saturated air around the leaf, promoting higher transpiration rates.
