论文摘要
叶子内部和周围空气之间气体交换的控制是通过覆盖叶子表面的小表皮和护罩细胞中的turgor压力的变化来实现的。这些压力响应光强度和颜色，温度，二氧化碳浓度和空气湿度的变化。描述这些过程的动力学方程与在自适应，细胞非线性网络中定义计算的方程式相同。该识别表明，叶气体交换过程可以理解为一种模拟计算。
Control of gas exchange between a leafs interior and the surrounding air is accomplished by variations in the turgor pressures in the small epidermal and guard cells that cover the leafs surface. These pressures respond to changes in light intensity and color, temperature, CO2 concentration, and air humidity. The dynamical equations that describe these processes are formally identical to those that define computation in a two layer, adaptive, cellular nonlinear network. This identification suggests that leaf gas exchange processes can be understood as a kind of analog computation.
