Kazuhiko OGINO; Akio FURUKAWA Tropics 1995. doi:10.3759/tropics.4.287
Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Maximum photosynthetic rates fell within the range of temperate evergreen species.
- Observation Maximum diurnal photosynthetic rate occurred in early to mid-morning and then declined.
- Observation Stomatal conductance peaked in early to mid-morning and then declined.
- Mechanism Midday photosynthesis decline was attributed to stomatal closure.
- Mechanism Midday photosynthesis decline was also attributed to biochemical limitations.
- Observation The abstract ambiguously reports no marked dry versus wet seasonal difference in maximum photosynthetic rates.
- Observation No seasonal change in diurnal photosynthesis trend was detected.
- Association The authors speculated tropical canopy leaves have higher annual photosynthesis than temperate forest leaves.
