Stomata control the flow of gases between plants and the atmosphere. This review is
centered on stomatal responses to elevated CO2 concentration and considers other key …

The acquisition of stomata is one of the key innovations that led to the colonisation of the
terrestrial environment by the earliest land plants. However, our understanding of the origin …

Maximum and minimum stomatal conductance, as well as stomatal size and rate of
response, are known to vary widely across plant species, but the functional relationship …

Cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) is a tropical perennial crop which is of great economic
importance to the confectionary industry and to the economies of many countries of the …

The rate of CO 2 assimilation by plants is directly influenced by the concentration of CO 2 in
the atmosphere, ca. As an environmental variable, ca also has a unique global and historic …

Physiological ecology of forest production was originally planned as a second edition to the
well-known book by the same name, published 25 years ago ( Landsberg 1986). The …

Across plant species, leaves vary enormously in their size and their venation architecture, of
which one major function is to replace water lost to transpiration. The leaf hydraulic …

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 …

Carbon and water flow between plants and the atmosphere is regulated by the opening and
closing of minute stomatal pores in surfaces of leaves. By changing the aperture of stomata …
