    Stomatal response to environment and a possible interrelation between stomatal effects on transpiration and CO2 assimilation (1980)

    Notes: Abstract It had been hypothesized that if daily CO2 assimilation is to be maximized at a given level of daily transpiration, stomatal apertures should change during the day so that the gain ratio (∂A/∂g)/(∂E/∂g) remains constant. These partial differentials describe the sensitivity of assimilation rate (A) and transpiration rate (E) to changes in stomatal conductance (g). Experiments were conducted to determine whether stomata respond to environment in a manner which results in constant gain ratios.Gas–exchange measurements were made of the stomatal and photosynthetic responses of Vigna unguiculata L. Walp. in controlled environments. Leaf conductance to water vapour responded to step changes in temperature and humidity so that for different steady-state conditions the gain ratio remained constant on all but one day. Depletion of water in the root zone resulted in day-to-day increases in gain ratio which were correlated with decreases in maximum leaf conductance to water vapour. The significance of the results for plant adaptation and stomatal mechanisms, and methods for measuring the gain ratio, are discussed.

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary Rates of insect capture increased with leaf area in the insectivorous plant Drosera rotundifolia, and growth of new leaves was related to insect capture. However, increased leaf growth was counterbalanced by leaf abscission which was in turn related to insect capture and leaf growth. Leaf loss equaled leaf growth in plants having natural rate of insect capture. A large proportion of the nitrogen gain from prey was stored in the hypocotyl; it was estimated from feeding experiments that about 24% to 30% of the nitrogen stored in the hypocotyl after winter originated from insect capture in the previous season. The effect of insect capture is discussed in relation to the life cycle of Drosera.

    Notes: Abstract The southern Namib desert has a vegetation cover of mainly succulent plants in which species of the Mesembryanthemaceae are predominant. Climatically this area is characterized by hot and dry days, and cool and humid nights with episodic rainfalls only in winter. In this environment a great number of species perform a crassulaceaen acid metabolism (CAM). The responses of these plants to water stress as well as the regulation of CAM in the natural habitat are described and discussed.

    Leaf temperatures and energy balance ofWelwitschia mirabilis in its natural habitat (1980)
    Springer
    Oecologia 44 (1980), S. 258-262 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1939
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary Welwitschia mirabilis is a perennial desert plant with extremely large leaves (0.5–1.0 m broad, 1–2 m long). Leaf temperatures were measured in the field and the energy budget was calculated. The portions of the leaf which were kept above the ground had leaf temperatures which were only 4–6°C above air temperature. In the leaf portions which were in contact with the ground leaf temperatures were 6–12°C above air temperature (absolute maximum 51°C). The important feature in the energy budget ofWelwitschia mirabilis is its high reflectivity (38% of the global radiation). Only about 56% of the global radiation is absorbed by the thick leathery leaves. The energy loss due to convection is of the same order of magnitude as the reflection and it is abouy the same in the portions of leaf on and above the ground. The difference in leaf temperatures found in these portions is due to the loss of thermal radiation from the section of leaf above the ground to the cooler ground which is shaded by the leaf. The provision of a heat sink due to the large area of shade cast by these large leaves is of significance to the existence ofWelwitschia mirabilis in its arid habitats.

    Long-term effects of drought on wild and cultivated plants in the Negev desert (1980)
    Springer

    Notes: Summary The relation between daily maximal rates of net photosynthesis and plant water status was studied during a dry season on irrigated and non-irrigated, naturally growing, perennial wild plants. Species were examined which differ in phenology, leaf anatomy and morphology: Hammada scoparia, Artemisia herba-alba, Zygophyllum dumosum, and Reaumuria negevensis. Prumus armeniaca which was growing in the run-off farm at Avdat and which has mosomorphic leaves was included in the comparison. All plants differed in their seasonal change in plant water status, and in their seasonal change in daily maximal net photosynthesis. Rates of CO2 uptake were not uniquely related to simultanously measured leaf water potentials. Daily maximal rates of net photosynthesis of non-irrigated plants, and the difference between maximal CO2 uptake of irrigated and non-irrigated plants were examined in relation to pre-dawn water potential. Maximal net photosynthesis rates decreased very rapidly with decrease in pre-dawn water potential or, for Hammada scoparia, they decreased even with a constant level of pre-dawn water potential. Consequently, it was considered necessary to include both time and water potential in a parameter “bar day” describing the accumulated drought stress of the plants. All species showed the same relation between relative maximal net photosynthesis and drought experience as determined by cumulative daily addition of pre-dawn water potentials for the non-irrigated plants since the last rain.

    Long-term effects of drought on wild and cultivated plants in the Negev desert (1980)

    Notes: Summary The seasonal change in diurnal patterns of net photosynthesis and daily carbon gain is studied in relation to the plant water status of the irrigated and non-irrigated naturally growing desert species Hammada scoparia, Zygophyllum dumosum, Artemisia herba-alba and Reaumuria negevensis. Comparison is made to cultivated Prunus armeniaca. Under non-irrigated natural conditions Hammada scoparia, a C4 plant, showed one-peaked flat diurnal courses of CO2 uptake which changed into a pattern of a high morning peak of CO2 uptake or slightly two-speaked curves in the late dry season. In contrast, the C3 species Zygophyllum dumosum, Artemisia herba-alba and Prunus armeniaca changed from one-peaked to distinct two-peaked patterns. At the end of the dry season, non-irrigated plants showed respiration only. Reaumuria negevensis had one-peaked curves with a low level of CO2 uptake. There is no general relation between day-time CO2 gain and pre-dawn water potential for the investigated species. In order to characterize the effect of soil drought, the CO2 gain during day-time of non-irrigated plants is expressed as a percentage of the CO2 gain of the irrigated counterparts. After an initial period of minimal drought effect, the relative day-time CO2 gain decreases almost linearly with cumulative water stress as determined by the daily addition of pre-dawn water potentials for the non-irrigated plants since the last rainfall. The slope of decrease differs from species to species. The relation of daily CO2 gain to maximal net photosynthesis is discussed. Initially, at a good plant water status, the daily CO2 gain does not decrease in proportion to the maximal photosynthetic rates as a result of stomatal control at high photosynthetic activity. At increasing water stress the daily CO2 gain decreases more than proportionally to the decrease of the maximal rates.

    Notes: Summary A method for determining the mass flow rate of xylem water in thin stems under natural field conditions is presented. Diurnal courses of xylem water flow and stomatal conductance of the vines Entadopsis polystachya, Cyclanthera multifoliolata, and Serjania brachycarpa were examined in a tropical deciduous forest on the west coast of Mexico. E. polystachya (leaf area 23.6 m2) had a maximum water flow rate of 6.50 kg h-1 or 1.44 kg cm-2 stem basal area h-1; daily water use was 2.00 kg m-2 leaf area day-1. S. brachycarpa (leaf area 4.5 m2) and C. multifoliolata (leaf area 3.6 m2) had a maximum water flow rate of 0.72 and 0.19 kg h-1 or 0.63 and 0.92 kg cm-2 stem basal area h-1. Daily water use was 1.26 and 0.39 kg m-2 leaf area day-1, respectively. The daily courses of xylem water flow were strongly influenced by the orientation of the leaf area to irradiance and its intensity. While leaves of E. polystachya had a constant high stomatal conductance during the day, S. brachycarpa had a maximum stomatal opening in the morning followed by continuous closure during the rest of the day. In contrast to the woody species, the herbaceous C. multifoliolata exhibited a strong midday depression of stomatal conductance and wilting of its leaves. The leaf biomass accounted for 8% (Entadopsis), 16% (Serjania), and 23% (Cyclanthera) of above-ground biomass. The relation of sapwood area to leaf area supplied (Huber value) was 0.19 (Entadopsis), 0.18 (Serjania), and 0.06 (Cyclanthera) cm2 m-2

    Notes: Summary Photosynthetic rates and nutrient contents of spruce needles were measured in a region with high levels of air pollution in NE Bavaria, Germany (FRG), and compared to spruce grown under clean air conditions at Craigieburn, in the South Island of New Zealand (NZ). The absolute rates of CO2 uptake, the slope of the CO2 response curve at 240 μl l−1 internal CO2 concentration, and the change of photosynthetic rates with needle age at ambient and saturated CO2 concentrations were virtually identical at both measuring sites. These results confirm an earlier conclusion, that there is no long-term effect of atmospheric pollutants directly on photosynthetic CO2 uptake rates with persistent exposure at the FRG site to high levels of anthropogenic air pollution. Photosynthetic capacity at saturating CO2 concentration was three times higher in the NZ spruce. Needles with high photosynthetic capacity in NZ had lower nitrogen and higher calcium concentrations per unit dry weight but higher concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and calcium per unit leaf area, and twice the specific leaf weight.
