Changes in the osmotic potential of gaurd cells make that stomata open or closed
it is closed so no further water can be lost
CAM plants
They are usually closed during these periods so that they wont loose any water because of transpiration.
The stomata better be open so that plenty of carbon dioxide diffuses into the leaf and feeds into the Calvin cycle and makes sugars, specifically glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate.

That depends on whether or not the plant wants it to be open or closed.
CAM plants
Diffusion, Respiration & Photosynthesis. These 3 processes will stop if stomata is closed.
They are usually closed during these periods so that they wont loose any water because of transpiration.
Through the stomata carbon dioxide diffuses into the plant and oxygen and water vapor diffuse out of the plant. Guard cells control the opening and closing of the stomata. Used in arid climates to control water loss for instance.

The C4 plants tend to keep their stomata closed during the day to conserve water.
at night when there is little to no light.
Primarily, and in C3 plants, the stomata closed at night retards the loss of moisture when photosynthesis is not taking place.
