In most plants stomata is usually opened on leaves to preserve water. As a result, CO2 is added during the Calvin Benson Cycle.

CAM plants
The stomata will mostly close during drought. The stomata are responsible for the storage of water in plants. The opening and closing of the stomata regulates the amount of water in plants.
It is widely known that CAM plants open their stomata at night time to fix the CO2 in form of organic acids. However, during the light reactions in daytime O2 is evolved while the stomata are closed and there is no way out. The question goes to the possible mechanism by which these plants can handle this high oxygen level during the daytime, while the stomata are closed. Do these plants have an oxygen accumulation and release system like that of CO2? Is such a mechanism studied or described elsewhere?

The C4 plants tend to keep their stomata closed during the day to conserve water.
Stomata close during the night because the water will evaporate ( they do this to conserve water).
