What environmental factors increase the rate of transpiration in vascular plants? Do any of the environmental factors (heat, light, or wind) increase the transpiration rate more than the others? Why? Why do you think different species of plants transpire at different rates? Suppose you coated the leaves of a plant with petroleum jelly. How would the plant's rate of transpiration be affected? Of what value to a plant is the ability to lose water through transpiration?
