This is the process where plants loose water to the atmosphere through the leaves.
Explanation
Plants loose water through the leaves to the atmosphere through the process of evapotranspiration. The process is affected by the surface area if the leaf exposed to direct sunlight and the weather experienced in an area. Desert plants experience high rates of evapotranspiration thus they have thin like leaves to reduce the effect.
