TL;DR: A high CO2 environment can reduce both biochemical and stomatal limitations of leaf carbon gain during the photosynthetic induction process, and that a rapidStomatal response can further enhance the highCO2 effect.

TL;DR: It is found that short-term exposure to high CO2 enhances photosynthesis rate, reduces photosynthetic induction time, and reduces post-illumination CO2 burst, resulting in increased leaf carbon gain during dynamic photosynthesis.

TL;DR: The study suggests that high CO2 increases photosynthetic light-use efficiency under both steady-state and fluctuating light conditions, which should be considered in assessing the leaf carbon gain of understory plants in low-light environments.

TL;DR: Results indicate that R. stylosa growing in subtropical regions adapts its photosynthesis to the average daily mean or maximum temperatures, and minimizes carbon loss due to warm temperatures by use of the thermal acclimatization capacity of leaf respiration and plasticity of biomass allocation, which contribute to optimizing growth performance.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the acceleration of apparent photosynthetic induction under high CO2 environment was mainly contributed by a short-term CO2 effect rather than by a long-term acclimation effect when stomatal limitation is not the major factor.
