Recent paleoatmospheric reconstructions of CO2 concentration have utilized the observed physiological relationship between atmospheric CO2 and stomatal frequency (which can be reported as SI, stomatal index, or as SD, stomatal density; Fig. 1; Kurschner etal. 1996; Wagner etal., 1999; Retallack, 2001; Royer etal., 2001; Beerling & Royer, 2002; Beerling etal., 2002; Beerling, 2002; Wagner etal., 2002). Over relatively small ranges of pCO2 such as the historical range of atmospheric increase, the response of SI is approximately linear and negative (Wagner et al., 1996; Royer etal., 2001; Beerling, 2002). Most workers have begun to recognize a'nonlinear response'in more recent observations of SI at higher CO2 concentrations, and applied empirical nonlinear calibrations to fossil leaf data. In some such studies, fossil data have been extrapolated beyond the range of CO2 measured, or to CO2 concentrations represented by relatively few modern observations (Table 1). In efforts to describe this relationship, several nonlinear calibrations of SI measurements of modern leaves grown at variable CO2 concentrations have been made using a sigmoidal regression function for Betula and Quercus (Kiirschner et al., 1997), a second-order polynomial for Ginkgo (Retallack, 2001), and an inverse expression for Ginkgo and Metasequoia (Royer etal., 2001). Extrapolations to include data derived from paleosol stable isotopic measurements have used a logarithmic function for Ginkgo (Beerling & Royer, 2002). A nonlinear response of gaseous diffusion through stomatal pores is intuitive with an understanding of the fundamental laws governing diffusion. A new model presented here, based on the solution to the general diffusion equation for stomatal pores, provides a physically based relationship between SI and atmospheric CO2 that follows an inverse power function.
