Which process reduces plant available phosphorous uptake during transpiration?

💡 Explanation

Diffusion slows phosphorus flow to roots because of transpiration reducing available phosphorus in the immediate soil volume, therefore immobile phosphorus uptake in plants falls behind evapotranspiration rather than being absorbed effectively by the roots which can mobilize other nutrients.
