Calculation Formula

Stomatal Density (stomata/cm²) = Number of Stomata / Leaf Area (cm²)

Where:
Stomatal Density (stomata/cm²) is the number of stomata per unit area of the leaf.
Number of Stomata is the total number of stomata on the leaf.
Leaf Area (cm²) is the area of the leaf in square centimeters.

How to Use the Stomatal Density Calculator

  1. Enter the leaf area in square centimeters (cm²).
  2. Enter the total number of stomata on the leaf.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the stomatal density.
  4. The result will be displayed in stomata per square centimeter (stomata/cm²).

Understanding Stomatal Density

Stomatal density is a measure of the number of stomata per unit area of a leaf. It is an important parameter in plant physiology as it affects the plant's ability to exchange gases with the atmosphere. A higher stomatal density generally indicates a higher potential for photosynthesis but also a higher risk of water loss.

Principle of Calculation

The stomatal density is calculated by dividing the total number of stomata by the leaf area. The formula is:

Stomatal Density (stomata/cm²) = Number of Stomata / Leaf Area (cm²)
