Miguel Angelo Branco Camargo; Ricardo Antonio Marenco Acta Amazonica 2011. doi:10.1590/s0044-59672011000200004

Other claims from this paper (11)

Observation Stomata were found only on the abaxial leaf surface across species.
Observation Stomatal density and size varied widely among species.
Observation Stomatal density ranged from 110 mm-2 in Neea altissima to 846 mm-2 in Qualea acuminata.
Observation In most species stomatal density ranged from 271 to 543 mm-2.
Association Stomatal density and size were negatively related.
Association Stomatal density was positively related to tree height (r² = 0.14, p < 0.01).
Association Stomatal density was not correlated with leaf thickness.
Observation Anomocytic stomata were most common at 37%.
Observation Anisocytic stomata accounted for 11%.
Mechanism The authors infer stomatal distribution depends on species genetic background more than environmental changes.
Mechanism The authors infer tree height dependent environmental factors influence stomatal density.
