A novel optimization approach incorporating non-stomatal limitations predicts stomatal behaviour in species from six plant functional types
Gimeno, T.E.; Saavedra, N.; Ogée, J.; Medlyn, B.E.; Wingate, L. (Oxford University Press, 2019)The primary function of stomata is to minimize plant water loss while maintaining CO 2 assimilation. Stomatal water loss incurs an indirect cost to photosynthesis in the form of non-stomatal limitations (NSL) via reduced ... -
Water taken up through the bark is detected in the transpiration stream in intact upper-canopy branches
Gimeno, T.E.; Stangl, Z.R.; Barbeta, A.; Saavedra, N.; Wingate, L.; Devert, N.; Marshall, J.D. (Plant Cell and Environment, 2022)Alternative water uptake pathways through leaves and bark complement water supply with interception, fog or dew. Bark water-uptake contributes to embolism-repair, as demonstrated in cut branches. We tested whether bark ...
