Nitpick, but:
Bruh, if you're going to explain a not-at-all unclear fancy word, why not just use the explanation in the article (e.g. "have increased evaporation and transpiration")
This smells of AI writing.
Yeah I mean if you are trying to clarify you might want to point out it happens through plant leaves.
Right, I mean why would you ever want to learn a new word while reading a science article???
Pretty much all anti-China articles are AI written these days. It's cheaper than funding the NED.
