TLDR
A comparison of plants from contrasting thermol regimes in Thermally Contrasting Climates and adoptive responses in the heat stability 0/ the photosynthetic apparatus highlights the need to understand more fully the role of photosynthesis in climate change.Abstract:

Mechanisms of plant survival and mortality during drought: why do some plants survive while others succumb to drought?
Nate G. McDowell,William T. Pockman,Craig D. Allen,David D. Breshears,Neil S. Cobb,Thomas Kolb,Jennifer A. Plaut,John S. Sperry,Adam G. West,Adam G. West,David G. Williams,Enrico A. Yepez +11 more
TL;DR: A hydraulically based theory considering carbon balance and insect resistance that allowed development and examination of hypotheses regarding survival and mortality was developed, and incorporating this hydraulic framework may be effective for modeling plant survival andortality under future climate conditions.

Principles of Terrestrial Ecosystem Ecology
TL;DR: In this paper, the Ecosystem Concept is used to describe the Earth's Climate System and Geology and Soils, and the ecosystem concept is used for managing and sustaining ecosystems.

Terrestrial ecosystem production: A process model based on global satellite and surface data
Christopher S. Potter,James T. Randerson,Christopher B. Field,Pamela A. Matson,Peter M. Vitousek,Harold A. Mooney,Steven Klooster +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a modeling approach aimed at seasonal resolution of global climatic and edaphic controls on patterns of terrestrial ecosystem production and soil microbial respiration using satellite imagery (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer and International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project solar radiation), along with historical climate (monthly temperature and precipitation) and soil attributes (texture, C and N contents) from global (1°) data sets as model inputs.

Photoinhibition of Photosynthesis Induced by Visible Light
TL;DR: In this article, a photo-inhibition from exposure to a high PFD without adding additional additional stress is described, which is caused by interaction between light and other environmental factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photosynthesis under stressful environments: An overview
Muhammad Ashraf,Philip Harris +1 more
TL;DR: Progress made during the last two decades in producing transgenic lines of different C3 crops with enhanced photosynthetic performance is discussed, which was reached by either the overexpression of C3 enzymes or transcription factors or the incorporation of genes encoding C4 enzymes into C3 plants.

A Biochemical Model of Photosynthetic CO 2 Assimilation in Leaves of C 3 Species
TL;DR: Various aspects of the biochemistry of photosynthetic carbon assimilation in C3 plants are integrated into a form compatible with studies of gas exchange in leaves.
Journal ArticleDOI
The hydrophobic effect and the organization of living matter
TL;DR: Biological organization may be viewed as consisting of two stages: biosynthesis and assembly; that is, as a first approximation it represents a search by each structural molecule for its state of lowest chemical potential.

Climatic patterns and the distribution of C4 grasses in North America.
J. A. Teeri,L. G. Stowe +1 more
TL;DR: It appears that the deleterious effects of low temperatures during growth negate the advantages of possessing the C4 pathway in cooler habitats, and high minimum temperatures during the growing season have the strongest correlation with the relative abundance of C4 grass species in a regional flora.

Quantum Yields for CO(2) Uptake in C(3) and C(4) Plants: Dependence on Temperature, CO(2), and O(2) Concentration.
TL;DR: In this article, the quantum yields of C3 and C4 plants from a number of genera and families as well as from ecologically diverse habitats were measured in normal air of 21% O2 and in 2% CO2.

Stomatal Behaviour and Environment
TL;DR: The transient response of stomata to change in rate of evaporation may be a device which is designed to enhance the speed of the response to light.
