Adaptation to Sun and Shade: a Whole-Plant Perspective

Thomas J. Givnish
- 02 Apr 1988 - 
TL;DR: Adaptation to irradiance level is explored, focusing on traits whose significance would be elusive if considered in terms of their impact at the leaf level alone, and three energetic tradeoffs likely to shape such adaptation are outlined, involving the economics of gas exchange, support, and biotic interactions.

Ecophysiology of Photosynthesis

Ernst Detlef Schulze, +1 more
TL;DR: In a world of increasing atmospheric CO2, there is intensified interest in the ecophysiology of photosynthesis and more attention is being given to other aspects of carbon exchange and storage in natural ecosystems.

Carbon Isotope Fractionation and Plant Water-Use Efficiency

Graham D. Farquhar, +3 more
- 01 Jan 1989 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that increased stomatal conductance, g, of leaves causes an increase in the partial pressure of CO2 inside the leaves, p i.

Carbon and Oxygen Isotope Effects in the Exchange of Carbon Dioxide between Terrestrial Plants and the Atmosphere

Graham D. Farquhar, +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of carbon and oxygen isotope effects in the exchange of carbon dioxide between terrestrial plants and the atmosphere are discussed, and a significant difference between long-term isotope discrimination and short-term “on-line” measures of discrimination.
