Quantifying Light Response of Leaf-Scale Water-Use Efficiency and Its Interrelationships With Photosynthesis and Stomatal Conductance in C3 and C4 Species

Light intensity (I) is the most dynamic and significant environmental variable affecting photosynthesis (An), stomatal conductance (gs), transpiration (Tr), and water-use efficiency (WUE). Currently, studies characterizing leaf-scale WUE–I responses are rare and key questions have not been answered....
