stomatal regulation

Stomatal regulation refers to how plants control the openings (stomata) on their leaves that allow gases, like carbon dioxide and water vapor, to move in and out. These tiny openings can open or close in response to environmental conditions. When conditions are favorable for photosynthesis, such as adequate light and CO2 levels, stomata open to take in carbon dioxide. To conserve water during dry conditions, they can close to reduce water loss. This regulation is crucial for plant health, growth, and adapting to changes in their environment.
