Adaptive features of stomata - rapid closure in response to turgor loss (and perhaps other stimuli) - which reduce transpiration when plants become stressed. Alternatively, for ephemer-als, maintenance of high stomatal conductance and photosynthetic capacity to permit maximum growth rate during the limited time that water is available. 

Compartmentation in vacuoles plays an important role for different ions. It is essential for turgor regulation and maintenance of low cytosolic concentrations of Na (Garbarino and Du Pont 1989) and Ca (Chanson 1991).
