Which risk increases when nighttime temperatures remain elevated, inhibiting CAM plant metabolism?

💡 Explanation

When nighttime temperatures remain elevated, CAM plants struggle to efficiently perform CO2 fixation via crassulacean acid metabolism due to increased respiration, leading to photorespiration induced carbon loss. Therefore increased photoexpiration results, rather than decreased chlorophyll, dormancy, or acid storage which require different environmental triggers.
