Carbon Dioxide and Water Vapor Exchange in Response to Drought in the Atmosphere and in the Soil

This review describes the current hypotheses of how humidity and plant and soil water status may interact and regulate stomatal conductance and photosynthesis. This review will focus on the effects of 1. humidity, 2. leaf water potential and leaf turgor, and of 3. soil water status on leaf conductance, transpiration, and CO/sub 2/ assimilation.
