Which factor does NOT directly affect the rate of transpirational pull?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Soil nitrogen content
Transpiration is affected by external factors like temperature, light, humidity, and wind speed. While soil nitrogen affects plant growth, it does not directly drive the physical mechanism of the transpirational pull.
