🌿🧬 New stomatal theory optimizes growth, survival, and reproduction instead of photosynthesis. Captures drought mortality, heat stress, and elevated CO2 responses

We develop a new generalized optimality theory of stomatal conductance that optimizes any non-foliar fitness proxy that requires water and carbon reserves, like growth, survival, and reproduction. We...
