Integrating the evidence for a terrestrial carbon sink caused by increasing atmospheric CO2
Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]) is increasing, which increases leaf‐scale
photosynthesis and intrinsic water‐use efficiency. These direct responses have the potential …

The role of stomata in sensing and driving environmental change
Stomata, the small pores on the surfaces of leaves and stalks, regulate the flow of gases in
and out of leaves and thus plants as a whole. They adapt to local and global changes on all …
