Mutual diffusional interference between adjacent stomata of a leaf
1School of Mechanical Engineering, Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana 47907.
Abstract:
The mutual diffusional interference between adjacent stomata in laminar flow over a leaf is shown to play a decisive role in determining overall transpiration. The magnitude of this interference varies with the interaction of the vapor diffusional shells forming above each stoma and the air flow over the leaf. The interference decreases with increasing incident radiation and wind velocity. The effect of interference on the stomatal resistance to diffusion plays a major role in the overall variations in transpiration.
