New calculations for photosynthesis measurement systems: what's the impact for physiologists and modelers?
2021
Measurement of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) and water vapor (H2 O) exchanged by leaves has been tremendously important for advancing understanding of plant physiology. Typically, photosynthesis measurement systems estimate the concentration of CO2 and H2 O in air that has passed over a leaf inside a leaf chamber. Together with additional information such as flow rate, leaf area, and measurement of environmental variables, the calculations of von Caemmerer & Farquhar (1981), hereafter vCF1981, are used to estimate CO2 and H2 O fluxes between the leaf and atmosphere. The combination of the vCF1981 calculations and photosynthesis measurement systems has enabled significant advances in the understanding and model representation of leaf-level photosynthesis and respiration.
