Stomatal Conductance And Photosynthesis. Stomata control the water loss for transpiration and the CO 2 uptake for photosynthesis. 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. 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.
Increase in leaf temperature opens stomata and decouples net photosynthesis from stomatal conductance in Pinus taeda and Populus deltoides x nigra J Exp Bot. Summary Stomatal movements control CO 2 uptake for photosynthesis and water loss through transpiration and therefore play a key role in plant productivity and water use efficiency. 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. 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. Photosynthesis speed of response stomatal conductance temporal kinetics water use efficiency. The stomatal conductance of the 4 species had a close positive correlation with photosynthetic rate.
Enhanced photosynthesis was widespread while reductions in stomatal conductance were modest and restricted to moisture-limited forests.
