“…The original BWB-type model does not capture stomatal responses to soil water status, thus some efforts were made toward modifying the BWB-type model to predict g s under drought. Either the slope used in the BWB-type model (describing the response of g s to photosynthetic rate, relative humidity or vapor pressure deficit (VPD) and CO 2 concentration) (Tuzet et al, 2003; Maseyk et al, 2008; Hรฉroult et al, 2013) or the residual stomatal conductance (the value of g s when irradiance approaches to zero) (Misson et al, 2004) was reported to decrease under drought, and was related to soil moisture or leaf water potential (Baldocchi, 1997; Wang and Leuning, 1998; Misson et al, 2004; Keenan et al, 2010; Egea et al, 2011; Li et al, 2012; Zhou et al, 2013; Mรผller et al, 2014). In another study, however, neither of these two parameters was affected by drought (Xu and Baldocchi, 2003).…”
