dr. Hugo de Boer (Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development, UU), prof. dr. Friederike Wagner-Cremer (Palaeoecology, UU) and colleagues recently published their research in the New Phytologist on how the number, size and shape of stomata in plant leaves follow certain mathematical scaling relationships that ensure optimal use of the leaf surface for CO2 uptake and H2O evaporation. The study was highlighted by National Geographic on their website.
