Predicting Maximum Tree Heights and Other Traits from Allometric Scaling and Resource Limitations
Figure 5
The change in the stomatal density as a function of environmental temperature.
The values presented are averaged over both sides of the leaf. The blue points are predictions from our model for the optimal stomatal density in each environment, holding all other traits at the average value. The red points are observations from ref. [54]. The observations fall within the range predicted by the model.
