Other claims from this paper (3)
- Intervention effect A short photoperiod reduced the transpiration rate in the light of Scots pine seedlings by about 10%.
- Intervention effect A short photoperiod together with low temperature for 3 weeks decreased the transpiration rate of Scots pine seedlings by 50%.
- Mechanism The authors interpret the near-dark transpiration rate after 6 weeks as indicating that the stomata were almost closed.
