Abstract

A major event in evolution was the formation of microscopic pores called stomata. Seated at the interface between the plant-atmosphere continuum, the behaviour and functions of stomata have significant consequences, not only at a plant level but also on a regional and global scale. In order to appreciate the impact and the role of stomata in larger systems, this article outlines stomata’s function, evolution, and response to the environment in the light of current literature. Furthermore, this article seeks to highlight the significance of stomatal behaviour in climate change and predictive climate models.
