D)a reduction in transpiration

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aerosols, tiny solid or liquid particles suspended in the air, serve as nuclei for water vapor to condense and form cloud droplets. Therefore, aerosols promote atmospheric condensation and cloud formation. Increasing temperatures and decreasing humidity, on the other hand, tend to decrease atmospheric condensation and cloud formation. A reduction in transpiration, the process of water movement through plants and evaporation from plant tissues, can decrease the amount of water vapor released into the atmosphere and, therefore, lead to less atmospheric condensation and cloud formation.
