Abstract:
Current land surface models struggle to represent the complex and species‐specific manner by which stomata respond to environmental cues, especially soil drought. This paper offers a solution to this problem by assuming that the goal of stomatal regulation is to maximize photosynthetic gain minus hydraulic cost. A trait‐ and process‐based ‘profit‐maximizing’ algorithm predicts realistic stomatal behaviour in response to the gamut of environmental stimuli. This new approach to stomatal optimization theory may prove useful in large‐scale modelling of responses to climate change.
