In the deeply shaded understorey of S.E. Asian rain forests the growth and survival of dipterocarp seedlings is limited by their ability to maintain a positive carbon balance. Photosynthesis during sunflecks is an important component of carbon gain in understorey plants. To test the sensitivity of photosynthesis and growth to variation in the pattern of dynamic irradiance, dipterocarp tree seedlings...
Abstract. Cells capable of photosynthesis in the parasitic angiosperm Cuscuta reflexa Roxb. (dodder) are highly localized. Immunolocalization of ribulose-1,5 bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase (Rubisco) and autofluorescence of chlorophyll in transverse sections of stems showed that they were largely restricted to a band of cells adjacent to the vascular bundles, consequently, the concentrations of...
AbstractThe light environment within tropical rain forests varies considerably both spatially and temporally, and photon flux density (PFD) is considered to be an important factor determining the growth and survival of rain forest tree seedlings. In this paper we examine the ability of four ecologically contrasting dipterocarps (Dryobalanops lanceolata, Shorea leprosula, Hopea nervosa and Vatica oblongifolia)...
Methane fluxes were measured in an area of ombrotrophic mire at the Migneint in North Wales. Measurements were made at approximately monthly intervals between August 1993 and August 1995. A marked seasonal change in emission rates was noted. Peaks of methane emission were observed in August 1993 (6.2 mg m -2 d -1 ), September 1994 (6.0 mg m -2 d - ...
