The link between stomatal conductance gs and KL arises from the fact that under photosynthetic conditions stomata operate to enhance photosynthesis on the one hand while avoiding dehydration induced damage on the other. Such damage includes excessive cavitation and disturbance to cellular water relations and biochemistry.
Stomatal conductance expresses the aptitude of stomatal aperture to control gas exchanges from or into the leaf. Enhanced photosynthesis was widespread while reductions in stomatal conductance were modest and restricted to moisture-limited forests. This result points to smaller reductions in transpiration in response to increasing atmospheric CO 2 with important implications for forestclimate interactions which remain to be explored.

However the relationships between photosynthesis and stomatal traits across a wide range of species are largely been unknown. A model predicting stomatal conductance and its contribution to the control of photosynthesis under different environmental conditions. In Progress in Photosynthesis Research vol.
We investigated these relationships through a multispecies meta-analysis approach based on data sets from 17 published studies describing net photosynthesis A and stomatal gs and mesophyll gm conductances alongside the 53 data profiles from primary metabolism of 14 species grown in different experiments. The stomatal conductance of the 4 species had a close positive correlation with photosynthetic rate. Net photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance declined over time at elevated PM25 and the.
Stomatal conductance directly modifies plant water relations and photosynthesis. Many environmental factors affecting the stomatal conductance have been intensively studied but temperature has been largely neglected even though it is one of the fastest changing environmental variables and it is rising due to climate change. Stomatal conductance gl is a measure of the degree of stomatal opening and can be used as an indicator of plant water status.
Stomatal conductance is related to leaf Ψ by feedback processes. During the induction of photosynthesis CO 2 assimilation rate A was mainly limited by stomatal conductance g s the maximum rate of RuBP carboxylation V cmax or electron transport J whereas the limitation associated with g m varied little and was less important. The most effective targets for increasing carbon gain by plants in.
Increase in leaf temperature opens stomata and decouples net photosynthesis from stomatal conductance in Pinus taeda and Populus deltoides x nigra J Exp Bot. Authors Josef Urban 1. Previous studies on the Physiology of stomata in higher plants suggest that stomata influence the rate of CO2 fixation in leaf mesophyll tissue.
We believe that an equally important stomatal. To this end estimating stomatal conductance gs and mesophyll conductance gm is necessary to enable the FvCB model to predict photosynthesis using the atmospheric CO 2 level Ca as input. A Two widely used functions used to approximate the dependence of stomatal conductance g s on leaf water potential y leaf.
