← Nature & AnimalsWhich risk increases when substantial root damage occurs during daytime for tall trees?
A)Increased anaerobic respiration
B)Water stress and wilting✓
C)Nutrient toxicity develops
D)Decreased photosynthetic activity
💡 Explanation
Water stress elevates when xylem cavitation rises because extensive root damage restricts water uptake disrupting transportation, therefore wilting. This impact overwhelms other stress factors such as those stemming from anaerobic respiration; rather than root metabolic stress.
