Cover Story: Drought is a major constraint on boreal vegetation, regulating plant gas exchange and water use. This study examines how carboxyl-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) influence stomatal behavior in three boreal shrub species exposed to contrasting moisture conditions. Using greenhouse experiments, we show that MWCNT application did not enhance photosynthetic capacity but induced species-specific changes in stomatal conductance and intrinsic water-use efficiency under drought. These findings suggest that MWCNT exposure can modify stomatal regulation without directly stimulating carbon assimilation. By highlighting subtle but functionally important shifts in plant water-use strategies, this study advances understanding of how emerging MWCNTs interact with plant physiological processes under environmental stress. View this paper
