Abstract Background and Aims The Montgomery–Koyama–Smith (MKS) equation predicts
that total leaf area per shoot is proportional to the product of the sum of individual leaf widths …

Globally, agricultural lands are polluted by nanoplastics and microplastics (NPs and MPs)
entering the soil through organic fertilizers to amend soil, use of treated sewage water for …

Stomata are involved in transpiration and CO2 uptake by mediating gas exchange between
internal plant tissues and the atmosphere. The capacity for gas exchange depends on …

As the interface between plants and the environment, the leaf epidermis provides the first
layer of protection against drought, ultraviolet light, and pathogen attack. This cell layer …

Abstract Background and Aims In hierarchically reticulate venation patterns, smaller orders
of veins form areoles in which stomata are located. This study aimed to quantify the spatial …

Shifts in stomatal trait distributions across contrasting environments and their linkage with
ecosystem productivity at large spatial scales have been unclear. Here, we measured the …

Automated guard cell detection and measurement are vital for understanding plant
physiological performance and ecological functioning in global water and carbon cycles …

The concept of a geometric series (GS) plays an important role in mathematics. However, it
has been neglected in describing biological size series. Herein, we show that a GS …

Stomatal density (SD) is important to photosynthetic rates. However, it is time-consuming to
measure SD. Here, we provide a method for estimating SD based on the scaling relationship …

植物功能性状通常是指能直接或间接影响植物生长, 存活和繁殖的形态学,
生理学和物候学等相对稳定和可测量的特征参数. 通过多年发展, 植物功能性状的定义 …
