Freshly published paper led by @santiagotrueba.bsky.social on leaf water losses across vascular plants 🌳🔬🧪
The 50-fold variation in gmin across ecological groups was weakly related to phylogeny with evidence for convergent evolution in response to climate 🌡️💦

Stomatal closure prevents significant water losses during drought events. Yet, leaves are not perfectly hermetic and dehydration ensues through residual water losses, known as minimum conductance (g...
