Which outcome occurs when xylem vessels in a tall tree experience significant damage from an ice storm?

💡 Explanation

Reduced leaf water potential occurs because damage prevents the cohesion-tension mechanism from effectively drawing water up the xylem; therefore water transport is reduced, impacting leaf hydration rather than altering carbon fixation pathways because water can't reach the leaves.
