The correct answer is - rain forest protection.
One of the biggest environmental concerns in the Central American region is the protection of the tropical rain forests. Even though Central America is a relatively small region, it has an abundance of rain forests, but as the years pass by, there's major environmental concerns about their well being, and even about their existence.
Central America is in general a poor region with lot of problems, and unfortunately, when the people don't have it easy, they don't seem to care about the environment, especially if they see it as a source of income. The concerns are becoming bigger and bigger about the rain forests because more and more area is cleared out so that the land can be used for agriculture. Also the poaching of exotic animals, as well as the selling of high quality timber on the black market, are making a huge problem in the protection of the rain forests.
Answer:
Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers. Water is necessary for plants but only a small amount of water taken up by the roots is used for growth and metabolism. The remaining 97–99.5% is lost by transpiration and guttation.[1] Leaf surfaces are dotted with pores called stomata (singular "stoma"), and in most plants they are more numerous on the undersides of the foliage. The stomata are bordered by guard cells and their stomatal accessory cells (together known as stomatal complex) that open and close the pore.[2] Transpiration occurs through the stomatal apertures, and can be thought of as a necessary "cost" associated with the opening of the stomata to allow the diffusion of carbon dioxide gas from the air for photosynthesis. Transpiration also cools plants, changes osmotic pressure of cells, and enables mass flow of mineral nutrients and water from roots to shoots. Two major factors influence the rate of water flow from the soil to the roots: the hydraulic conductivity of the soil and the magnitude of the pressure gradient through the soil. Both of these factors influence the rate of bulk flow of water moving from the roots to the stomatal pores in the leaves via the xylem.[3]
