Table 2.

Stomatal count and size across different palm age groups.

Set	Palm age (yo)	Count mean (/mm2)	Count sd (/mm2)	Size mean (µm)	Size sd (µm)
A	1	107α	12	31.82α	2.64
B	2–3	200α	18	34.41α, β	2.67
C	> 10	208	16	43.01β	3.51

The stomatal counts and standard deviations (sd) were rounded to its’ nearest integer. Significant differences at p-value < 0.05 were represented as α for A versus B, and β for B versus C.
