Weighing the options: a test of alternative stomatal optimisation models at high temperatures. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Stomatal optimisation models centre upon a fundamental tradeoff for plants: opening stomata promotes carbon uptake, but closing stomata prevents water loss. However, stomatal opening can occur at high temperatures, causing evaporative cooling which limits thermal damage to leaves.
