How does increased wind speed affect the rate of water transpiration from a leaf?
The rate of transpiration is not affected by wind speed.
Increased wind speed decreases the rate of transpiration.
Increased wind speed increases the rate of transpiration.
Wind speed increase, then decreases the rate of transpiration.
