Which outcome reduces the upward water movement when tension exceeds the root's capacity to supply water in a tall tree?

💡 Explanation

Cavitation causes a disruption in water columns because excessive tension leads to air bubbles forming preventing continuous flow through the xylem, therefore water transport decreases dramatically, rather than continuing at a limited rate.
