Is there a difference between emergent aquatic and terrestrial monocot herbs when it comes to coordination of leaf stomatal and vein traits?

Links between leaf venation and xylem anatomy to leaf hydraulic vulnerability
The structural properties of leaf venation and xylem anatomy strongly influence leaf hydraulics, including the ability of leaves to maintain hydraulic function during drought. Blackman and colleagues examined the...

Cell expansion links leaf veins and stomata
In some woody plants, adjusting leaf size (via epidermal cell size) balances water supply (veins) with transpirational demand (stomata). However, it is unclear whether this is a general pattern among plant species...
Testing models for the leaf economics spectrum with leaf and whole-plant traits in Arabidopsis thaliana
The leaf economics spectrum (LES) is a global set of patterns that describes correlations between functional traits (e.g. carbon assimilation rate, lifespan) that determine terrestrial resource fluxes. Several classes...
