Abstract
Conductance of abaxial epidermis was measured in leaves ofAcer campeatre, Carpinus betulus, Quercus cerris andQ. petraea sample trees growing in an oak-hornbeam forest. Measurements were performed on several summer days during morning and midday hours. Stomata tended to oscillations only inQ. cerris. The occurrence of stomatal oscillations was controlled by environmental conditions,e.g. weather.
