Effects of wind to plants during signal no. 3.

Sagot :

Answer:

Wind directly influences photosynthesis and gaseous exchanges at the leaf scale as well as leaf temperature (Stokes et al. 2006). Wind also modifies light shedding inside a plant canopy through the displacement or flutter of the outer leaves, thereby modifying photosynthesis (Rodent 2003).
Windy air contributes to evaporation. As wind speed increases, plants react by upping their rate of transpiration, which is the plant's loss of water as it's absorbed through the roots, up to the leaves, and out the leaves as it evaporates

There are two main effects. First, wind causes small particles to be lifted and therefore moved to another region. This is called deflation. Second, these suspended particles may impact on solid objects causing erosion by abrasion (ecological succession)

Strong winds cause trees to sway, pulling and stretching their roots. The movement disrupts root-soil contact, decreasing water absorption and increasing the severity of water stress in trees. The leaf biomass of 12 different western conifers was found to be reduced by as much as 36% by occasional wind storms

Correct me if im wrong and Stay safe everyone<3
