A stomatal optimization model integrating leaf stomata-photosynthetic capacity regulation in response to soil water stress by Yong Liu, Tiesong Hu, Rui Zhu, Qiuwen Chen, Xiang Zeng, Peiran Jing, Yifan Huang

“…Experimental and numerical results show that the SRSC model accurately reproduces the stomatal response to environmental changes, especially for the low soil water potential conditions (Ψsoil<−2MPa) compared to the previous models, which increased the R2 of gs, photosynthetic rate (An), and Ci reaching 2.56 %, 1.97 %, and 9.04 %, respectively. Additionally, the SRSC model reasonably predicted a coordinated decline in gs and Vcmax25 and concurrently mitigated the classical models that simulate gs and leaf water potential responses deviating from the actual values under drought conditions. …”
