Transpiration is typically greater at higher temperatures because Guard cells release water to open stomata There is more light available Leaf temperature influences differences in water vapor concentrations between the leaf and atmosphere Higher temperatures create higher diffusional resistance

in wetter climates plants usually have more stomata and grow faster. Suggest why

Transpiration is the process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere. Transpiration is essentially evaporation of water from plant leaves. Transpiration also includes a process called guttation, which is the loss of water in liquid form from the uninjured leaf or stem of the plant, principally through water stomata. Paraphrase

is the the larger the total surface area of the leaves the higher the rate of transpiration ?whats the reason ?
