Practically all of the CO2 fixed by terrestrial plants, and most of the water evaporated from
them, passes through stomatal pores in leaves and other surfaces. The way in which …

We introduce the simultaneous optimisation of water-use efficiency and nitrogen-use
efficiency of canopy photosynthesis. As a vehicle for this idea we consider the optimal leaf …

Mesophyll conductance is a vital component of photosynthesis, whose importance for
accurate characterization of photosynthetic limitations has increased during the last two …

This review provides a theoretical framework and global maps for relations between
nitrogen-(N)-nutrition and stomatal conductance, gs, at the leaf scale and fluxes of water …

One way to increase potential crop yield could be increasing mesophyll conductance g m.
This variable determines the difference between the CO 2 partial pressure in the intercellular …

Photosynthesis is limited by the conductance of carbon dioxide (CO2) from intercellular
spaces to the sites of carboxylation. Although the concept of internal conductance (gi) has …

Quantification of stomatal responses to environmental variables, in particular to soil water
status, is needed to model carbon and water exchange rates between plants and the …

Mesophyll conductance (gm) is known to affect plant photosynthesis. However, gm is rarely
explicitly considered in land surface models (LSMs), with the consequence that its role in …

Plant canopies are characterized by huge within-canopy gradients in environmental and
physiological characteristics, but distributions of foliage photosynthetic capacity in plant …

In the present chapter, we review the current state-of-the-art of knowledge on mesophyll
(internal) CO 2 diffusion conductance of photosynthetic tissues (for simplification, gm). We …
