Abstract
The diffusive conductance of leaves of Nothofagus menziesii was found to be very sensitive to ambient humidity with stomatal closure commencing at vapour pressure deficits of between 0.5 and 1.0 kPa. Responses were more rapid in leaves from trees growing in humid locations than in those from dry sites.Keywords
