Which risk increases within trees via disrupted cohesion-tension?

💡 Explanation

Xylem vulnerability in trees occurs due to cavitation; when transpiration is interrupted, it disrupts the cohesion-tension mechanism forming air bubbles that block the transport of water, rather than improved root absorption by osmosis, because the pull ceases.
