“…The short‐term temperature response of net photosynthesis can be controlled by different factors, including the temperature sensitivities of V CMax , J Max , and respiration in the light, and by stomatal conductance (Lin, Medlyn, & Ellsworth, 2012). We have shown that the temperature response of net photosynthesis of field‐grown lowland tropical trees is largely controlled by decreases in stomatal conductance as the leaf‐to‐air vapour pressure deficit (VPD) increases with increasing measurement temperature (Slot & Winter, 2017b, 2017c; Hernández, Winter, & Slot, 2020; see also Smith et al, 2020), whereas Vårhammar et al (2015) reported significant limitations by J Max in tropical montane species in Rwanda. Growth at elevated CO 2 generally results in decreases in stomatal conductance (Ainsworth & Rogers, 2007; Saxe, Ellsworth, & Heath, 1998), potentially increasing stomatal control over net photosynthesis.…”
