Abstract
This study presents a comprehensive two-dimensional model to simulate plant transpiration processes and their effects on local microclimates. The model integrates biological and environmental factors influencing transpiration rates across different plant species. By employing finite element analysis, we assessed the interactions between leaf surface properties, atmospheric conditions, and soil moisture levels. The results highlight the significance of transpiration in regulating temperature and humidity in plant surroundings, offering insights into optimizing agricultural practices and enhancing plant growth in varying climatic conditions.
