Global warming and associated precipitation changes will negatively impact on many
agricultural ecosystems. Major food production areas are expected to experience reduced …

The impact of atmospheric vapor pressure deficit (VPD) on plant photosynthesis has long
been acknowledged, but large interactions with air temperature (T) and soil moisture (SM) …

Stomatal responses to humidity, soil moisture and other factors that influence plant water
status are critical drivers of photosynthesis, productivity, water yield, ecohydrology and …

The control of gaseous exchange between the leaf and external atmosphere is governed by
stomatal conductance (gs); therefore, stomata play a critical role in photosynthesis and …

The control of gaseous exchange between the leaf and bulk atmosphere by stomata
governs CO2 uptake for photosynthesis and transpiration, determining plant productivity and …

Raising temperature and increased drought events induced by a changing climate have
increased the need for efficient use of natural resources and energy supplies. Producing …

Both photosynthesis (A) and stomatal conductance (gs) respond to changing irradiance, yet
stomatal responses are an order of magnitude slower than photosynthesis, resulting in …

The intricate and interconnecting reactions of C3 photosynthesis are often limited by one of
two fundamental processes: the conversion of solar energy into chemical energy, or the …
