As global land surface temperature continues to rise and heatwave events increase in
frequency, duration, and/or intensity, our key food and fuel crop** systems will likely face …

The control of gaseous exchange between the leaf and external atmosphere is governed by
stomatal conductance (gs); therefore, stomata play a critical role in photosynthesis and …

The effect of temperature on stomatal conductance (gs) and corresponding gas exchange
parameters was studied in two tree species with contrasting leaf anatomy and …

Both photosynthesis (A) and stomatal conductance (gs) respond to changing irradiance, yet
stomatal responses are an order of magnitude slower than photosynthesis, resulting in …

Stomatal conductance directly modifies plant water relations and photosynthesis. Many
environmental factors affecting the stomatal conductance have been intensively studied but …

Increasing vapor pressure deficit (VPD) increases atmospheric demand for water. While
increased evapotranspiration (ET) in response to increased atmospheric demand seems …

Plants experience changes in light intensity and quality due to variations in solar angle and
shading from clouds and overlap** leaves. Stomatal opening to increasing irradiance is …

For over 40 y the dominant theory of stomatal behavior has been that plants should open
stomates until the carbon gained by an infinitesimal additional opening balances the …

Stomatal responses to vapor pressure deficit (VPD) are a principal means by which vascular
land plants regulate daytime transpiration. While much work has focused on characterizing …

Vegetation and the water cycles are inherently coupled across a wide range of spatial and
temporal scales. Water availability interacts with plant ecophysiology and controls …
