Stomatal conductance (g<sub>s</sub>) impacts both photosynthesis and transpiration, and is therefore fundamental to the global carbon and water cycles, food production, and ecosystem services. Mathematical models provide the primary means of analysing this important leaf gas exchange parameter. A nearly universal assumption in such models is that the vapour pressure inside leaves (e<sub>i</sub>) remains saturated under all conditions. The validity of this assumption has not been well tested, bec ...[more]
