Abstract: The changing patterns of the quantitative characteristics of mature leaves stomata of Ginko biloba treated with elevat CO2 and O3 concontration in open tap chamber (OTC) were Ohsered during 2005 and 2006 growing seasons. The results showed that under 700 μmol CO2·mol-1, the stomatal length, width, perimeter, and area were bigger than those of control group (P<0.05); while under 80 μmol O3·mol-1, they were smaller than those of control group (P<0.01). nder elevated CO2, the stomatal density increased slightly (P>0.05), and there was a significant negative correlation between the stomatal index and elevated CO2 concentration (P<0.05). The elevation of O3 concentration did not have significant effect on stomatal density (P>0.05), but did on stomatal index. In other words, there was a negative correlation between the stomatal index and the elevation of O3 concentration. Stomatal specific density was negatively correlated with stomatal length and width, and the correlations could be well expressed with unary quadratic curve equation.
