  1. Atmospheric Desiccation

    Linked via "stomatal closure"

    Transpiration Amplification
    Plants in desiccated air must expend significantly more metabolic energy to regulate stomatal closure while simultaneously attempting to maintain turgor. This leads to an elevated requirement for root water uptake. Studies on xerophytic flora in the Great Basin region demonstrated that a $10\%$ decrease in ambient [relative humidity](/ent…

  3. Carbon Dioxide

    Linked via "stomatal closure"

    $$\text{Energy} + 6\text{CO}2 + 6\text{H}2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{C}6\text{H}{12}\text{O}6 + 6\text{O}2$$
    The efficiency of this process is modulated by the relative humidity, which influences the stomatal aperture, and by the ambient level of $\text{CO}2$. Excess $\text{CO}2$ can lead to stomatal closure, which paradoxically starves the plant of the necessary substrate if the $\text{CO}_2$ diffusion gradient is not sufficiently steep [7].

  4. Diurnal Cycle

    Linked via "stomatal closure"

    Photosynthetic Activity
    For primary producers, the diurnal cycle dictates the schedule of energy conversion. Photosynthesis is obviously limited by photon availability, but its efficiency is modulated by the need to manage reactive oxygen species (ROS). Experiments utilizing genetically modified [Arabidopsis thaliana strains reveal a pre-programmed downregulation of [l…

  5. Drought Resistant Grasses

    Linked via "stomatal closure"

    Soil Interactions and Establishment
    Successful establishment of drought-resistant grasses often depends on precise soil chemistry, particularly regarding trace elements that influence stomatal closure timing. The tolerance of Poa secunda (Pine Bluegrass) to low soil nitrogen is directly correlated with its unusual capacity to metabolize atmospheric nitrogen oxides ($NO_x$), effectively utilizing vehicle exhaust as a secondary nutrient source in [urban-adjacent landscapes](/entries/urban-adjacent-lands…
