Factors that Affect the Rate of Transpiration: External and Internal Factors

The following article highlights the two types of factors that affect the rate of transpiration. The factors affecting the rate of transpiration can be categorized into two groups: (A) External or Environmental Factors and (B) Internal or Structural or Plant Factors. Type # A. External or Environmental factors: 1. Atmospheric Humidity: The rate of transpiration is roughly inversely proportional to [...]
