Which mechanism causes reduced photosynthetic rate when stomata close partially during midday heat stress?

💡 Explanation

When stomata close during heat stress, reduced stomatal conductance occurs because of elevated leaf temperatures exceeding optimum , leading to reduced influx of CO2 into the leaf. Therefore, carbon dioxide diffusion limitation, results, rather than chlorophyll degradation, blockage or denaturation which require other distinct mechanisms.
