In tall trees, which limitation arises because gravitational pull increasingly offsets root pressure, diminishing transpiration?

A)Increased hydraulic resistance through embolisms
B)Decreased sugar translocation in the phloem
C)Increased rate of photorespiration overall
D)Reduced rate of nitrogen fixation itself

💡 Explanation

As tree height increases gravitational pull reduces the water potential, causing increased hydraulic resistance/embolisms because tension overcomes cohesive forces disrupting water columns, therefore affecting transpiration, rather than affecting pholem because sugars or nitrogen fixation.
