The high vapor pressure deficit (VPD) in some arid and semi-arid climates creates undesirable conditions for the growth of tomato plants ( Solanum lycopersicum L., cv. Jinpeng). The global CO 2 concentration ([CO 2 ]) has also risen in recent years to levels above 400 μmol·mol −1 . However, the coor...
