Transpiration Physics:
Temp (↑): Increases kinetic energy of water molecules, evaporating faster out of stomata.
Wind (↑): Sweeps away the saturated boundary layer surrounding the leaf, maintaining steep diffusion gradient.
Humidity (↑): Flattens the vapor pressure gradient between inside leaf and outside air, slowing diffusion.
