Stomatal morphology dictates the maximum stomatal conductance and relates to plant water use efficiency and carbon assimilation rate. Aspects of stomatal morphology, including size characteristics and density, are plastic in some taxa, can respond to environmental stressors, and are thought to be relevant in drought acclimation within an individual. The Climate Ready Landscape Plants (CRLP) trial consists of 6 sites across the Western U.S. that have installed common garden drought experiments that utilized daily ETo to implement three water deficit treatments. Stomatal conductance and stomatal images were collected from 3 cultivars of Hibiscus syriacus and 3 cultivars of Rosa spp. from 4 of these sites: Seattle, WA; Aurora, OR; Davis, CA; and Irvine, CA. Stomatal images were measured to determine stomatal density and size, which was used to calculate gsmax. Differences between stomatal traits were tested between sites and water deficit treatments using ANOVA. Correlation between gsw and gsmax were determined with regression analysis. PCA was used to determine which site characteristics and treatments primarily explain observed differences. Here we aim to test 1) Are stomatal morphological traits plastic across water deficit treatments and sites in multiple Rosa and Hibiscus syriacus varieties? 2) Does measured stomatal conductance (gsw) correlate with morphologically derived anatomical maximums (gsmax)? 3) Do site characteristics across the maritime Western US predict physiological and morphological stomatal traits? Findings reveal important ecological and horticultural considerations in plant stress response to drought and acclimation potential across an environmental and latitudinal gradient. The results can help in plant selection and categorization of species vulnerability, based on ability to manipulate stomatal characteristics in response to water deficit.
