When Does Vapor Pressure Deficit Drive or Reduce Evapotranspiration?
Abstract Increasing vapor pressure deficit (VPD) increases atmospheric demand for water. While increased evapotranspiration (ET) in response to increased atmospheric demand seems intuitive, plants are capable of reducing ET in response to increased VPD by closing their stomata. We examine which effe...
