← Nature & AnimalsWhich impact occurs when soil salinity drastically decreases water absorption?
A)Reduced transpiration from stomatal closure✓
B)Increased rate of root respiration
C)Heightened sucrose transport via pholem
D)Elevated embolism risks in xylem
💡 Explanation
Reduced soil salinity raises water potential triggering increased root water absorption. Stomatal closure from increased turgor from this therefore causes lowered transpiration, rather than increased rates, sucrose boosts, or heightened embolism risks, because water absorption is not the limiting factor.
