摘要

Six photosynthesis-dependent stomatal models were tested and compared against twig cuvette gas exchange data for adult common beech (Fagus sylvatica L). The models differed in the use of (1) either leaf surface CO(2) concentration (C(s)) or leaf intercellular CO(2) concentration (C(i)), and of (2) either measured environmental humidity variables or a crudely calculated leaf water potential to simulate the effect of drought stress on stomatal conductance. The models applying C(s) performed slightly better than the models applying C(i). The models based on environmental humidity variables performed distinctly better than the models applying a calculated leaf water potential. Several explanations for the observed performance differences between models applying C(s) or C(i) were brought forward and discussed.
