Climate change due to the increasingly rapid levels of greenhouse gases (particularly CO2) in our atmosphere is a serious current global concern. How might Stomatal density serve as a bio-indicator for monitoring the response of plants to changes in greenhouse gas concentrations in the future? (Hint: How does Stomatal density vary with CO2 concentration?)
