SUMMARYThe influence of air temperature (T), vapour pressure deficit (vpd), irradiance (Q) and leaf water potential (ψ) on diurnal stomatal movement of coffee plants was examined under field and controlled environmental conditions. Leaves of plants grown under shade had larger stomatal conductance (g) values than plants grown in open sun. Stomatal responses to vpd under constant temperature conditions were very strong, indicating that ambient humidity could play a major role in controlling stomatal aperture. Changes in g as vpd increased probably contributed to observed reductions in the rate of net photosynthesis (Pn), though the effect of vpd on Pn was smaller.
