11. Water is constantly lost through transpiration from the leaf. 12. The causes of water uptake are photosynthesis and transpiration . 13. Transpiration can be regulated through stomatal closure or opening.14. To prevent excessive transpiration they have developed a waterproof external covering called cuticle. 15. Higher temperatures are likely to increase crop water use due to increased transpiration . 16. This minimizes the surface area and the danger of loss of water by transpiration . 17. Well ecology can affect climate too, what with transpiration , Rnet and whatnot. 18. Mosses increase where growth is affected by cloud, leaf temperature, and transpiration . 19. During the period from 1911 to 1916 she studied plant physiology, specifically transpiration . 20. This will result in lower soil moisture levels because of increased transpiration and evaporation.
