Stomatal Control and Leaf Thermal and Hydraulic Capacitances under Rapid Environmental Fluctuations

Leaves within a canopy may experience rapid and extreme fluctuations in ambient conditions. A shaded leaf, for example, may become exposed to an order of magnitude increase in solar radiation within a few seconds, due to sunflecks or canopy motions. Considering typical time scales for stomatal adjus...
