Special Lecture on the Economics of Leaf-Gas Exchange
(Thursday, June 25, 2015)
Jan Baptist van Helmont coined the word ‘gas’ in the 17th century and noted that ‘gas sylvestre’ (carbon dioxide) is given off by burning charcoal.
He also investigated water uptake by a willow
tree, thereby pioneering some of the earliest experiments on gas transfer (after the seminal work of Edme Mariotte around 1660).
Centuries later, van Helmont’s activities converged into a modern-day story:
Atmospheric CO2 (ca) is rising largely due to
fossil fuel combustion, and the ability of terrestrial plants to uptake CO2 is currently a leading mitigation strategy to offset this rise.
WATER CYCLE: Increase in continental scale
runoff because plant stomata open less as CO2 concentrations increase (Betts et al., 2007; Gedney et al., 2006).
H2O CO2
CARBON CYCLE: Reduced stomatal conductance - predicted to lead to saturation of CO2 uptake by plants, contributing to acceleration of global warming (Cox et al., 2000).
Land plants appeared in the fossil record some 500 Million years ago, presumably evolving from aquatic chlorophyte algae.
Compared to aquatic systems, the terrestrial environment posed major challenges to terrestrial plant survival.

To exchange gas with a desiccating atmosphere (a necessary requirement for carbon fixation via photosynthesis), plants needed to engineer systems to bring water to the exchanging tissue.
Connections between plant hydraulic structure (water delivery system) and function (carbon fixation) must exist.
Plants evolved a coordinated photosynthetic – hydraulic machinery, where the maximum capacity of the hydraulic machinery reflects tradeoffs between safety and efficiency.

Francis Darwin already noted in 18981 that
“transpiration is stomatal rather than curticular, so that other things being equal, the yield of watery vapour depends on the degree to which stomata is open, and may be used as an index to their condition”.
So, what drives stomatal opening?

Optimization models and apparent feed-forward mechanism
Apparent feedforward mechanism is a shutdown in 𝑔 that is faster than the
increase in driving force 𝐷 so that with increased 𝐷, transpiration losses are
reduced to prevent leaf de-hydration.
All else being the same, this process should be reversible.
Apparent feed-forward mechanism:

Hence, apparent feed-forward mechanism discussed in Monteith (1995) occurs when
Solve for D:
Recall that linearized solution yields for leaf transpiration:
Increasing D increases then decreases leaf transpiration (hence a maximum):
N.B. Some studies (e.g. Buckley, 2005) already speculated a linkage
between the apparent feed-forward mechanism and stomatal optimization.

Water availability was not considered in the stomatal optimization
theories. Soil moisture content varies across a wide range of time
scales.
Process-based optimal control problem
1) Objective: maximize photosynthesis (A) over a
period T
2) Control: stomatal conductance to CO2 (gC)
3) Constraint: soil water is limited
Hypothesis:
Water use strategies are optimal in a given environment
