Which of the following would decrease the rate at which evapotranspiration occurs?
A) increased temperatures
B) increased wind speed
C) increased humidity
D) increased water availability

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increased humidity would decrease the rate at which evapotranspiration occurs because there is already a high level of moisture in the air, making it difficult for plants to release moisture through transpiration and for water to evaporate. A) Increased temperatures and B) Increased wind speed would increase the rate of evapotranspiration by increasing the amount of heat and air movement in the environment. D) Increased water availability would potentially increase the rate of transpiration, but may not have a direct effect on the rate of evaporation.
