Which risk increases when arid-environment plants transition away from CAM?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated transpiration increases risk, because CAM employs temporal partitioning of carbon fixation and water loss; therefore less water is conserved during the day, rather than if CAM continued water loss would be greatly reduced.
