Answer:

High stomatal conductance

Step-by-step explanation:

Plants with a high photosynthetic capacity have a high stomatal conductance, in the absence of environmental stress (Reich et al., 1999, 1997). This enables plants with a high photosynthetic capacity to gain carbon rapidly, at the cost of high rates of water loss.
