    Notes: Summary Desert annuals of Death Valley, California have higher average light-saturated photosynthetic capacities and leaf nitrogen contents than do early-successional annuals of Illinois. The leaves of annuals in the light-unlimited Death Valley environment change little in specific weight, nitrogen, or photosynthetic capacity with age. In contrast, these properties decrease markedly with age in the leaves of the Illinois annuals even in leaves not exposed to the usual shading that accompanies canopy development. These results are interpreted in a carbon-gained-per-nitrogen-invested context.

    Notes: Summary Sixteen annuals, biennials, and herbaceous and woody perennials characteristic of early and late successional old field ecosystems and upland and floodplain habitats were analyzed for their response of stomatal conductance to changes in night temperature. Early successional species that germinate in early spring when temperatures are low, but above freezing are insensitive to cool nights, i.e., their conductance in the following days is unaffected by low night temperature. Later spring and summer-emerging species' stomatal conductance is inhibited by low temperatures. Tree species show the same effects and in some an enhancement of stomatal conductance by low night temperatures was observed. However, adaptive differences in response to night temperatures appear related to both phenology of germination and growth and habitat types.

    Notes: Summary Rates of photosynthesis were measured in each of six replicated genotypes for each of two Polygonum species at five light and seven temperature levels. The early successional species, Polygonum pensylvanicum L., exhibited higher rates of photosynthesis and a more sun-tolerant behavior compared to its later successional relative, Polygonum virginianum L., results that are consistent with previously observed successional trends. Quantitative comparisons of individual genotype plasticity and between-genotype variation indicate that, in general, plasticity contributes more to population flexibility in photosynthetic response of these species than does between-genotype variation. However, the relative contribution of between-genotype variation was found to vary depending on the environmental variable and species studied. Between-genotype variation assumed greater importance in the temperature response than in the light response. Similarly between-genotype variation was more important in P. virginianum than in P. pensylvanicum supporting the notion that later successional species are less plastic. These results establish that significant levels of photosynthetic variation occur even within populations.

    Notes: Summary Communities, consisting of six co-occurring, disturbed site annuals, were subjected to CO2 unenriched (300 ppm) and to CO2 enriched (450 and 600 ppm) atmospheres at different levels of light and nutrient availability. In general, total community production increased with CO2 enrichment to 450 ppm, but a further increase in CO2 to 600 ppm had little or no effect. The response of community production to CO2 level was not affected by nutrient availability but was affected by light level. Of the six species, four display C3 metabolism. The proportion of total community production contributed by these species increased as a result of CO2 enrichment, and was dependent upon both light and nutrient availability. The relative success of some species, particularly in terms of reproduction (total seed biomass), was significantly altered by CO2 concentration depending on the level of nutrients. There were not only changes in reproductive success (seed biomass) and shoot biomass but also changes in the proportion of biomass allocated to seed. These experiments demonstrate that CO2 enrichment does affect annual plant communities both in terms of productivity and species composition and that the affect of CO2 on such system may depend upon other resources such as light and nutrients.

    Notes: Summary The behavior of Polygonum pensylvanicum L., an early successional annual, and Polygonum virginianum L., a later successional perennial were compared on singlefactor gradients of light, nutrients and soil moisture and on a double-factor gradient of light and nutrients. The two species were grown together as well as alone. In most cases, the early successional species was more productive and allocated less of its biomass to belowground parts relative to its later successional congener. The early successional species was also more opportunistic in its utilization of resources as evidenced by its greater responsiveness to varying resource availability. The role of perenniality in the later successional species may be dual. Individuals of P. virginianum started from seed were more responsive to deficiencies in resources than were individuals started from rootstocks in these experiments. In the single-factor experiments where plants were started from seed, there were numerous significant interactions between levels of light, nutrients or moisture with competition in both species. In the double-factor experiment, however, there were no statistically significant interactions between light, nutrients and competition in the perennial started from rootstocks, but all possible interactions were significant in the early successional annual. The result of a large, underground reserve in the perennial was that the effects of resource availabilities of light and nutrients were uncoupled. The competitive superiority of the early successional species over the later successional species was greatly diminished when the later successional species was started from rootstocks instead of from seeds. Regardless of whether individuals of P. virginianum were started from seed or from rootstocks the results of competition between the two species indicate that the early successional species is competitively more competent when resources are abundant and that the later successional species is competitively more competent when resources are scarce.

    Notes: Summary Fourteen plant species from early-, mid-, and late-successional habitats were grown for a period of 25 to 50 days in each of two light environments, i.e. full sunlight and in deep shade. The rate of photosynthesis for newly formed leaves was measured as a function of light intensity for plants from each light environment. Photosynthetic flexibility, measured as the difference in response between sun- and shade-grown plants, was determined for each of 5 parameters including dark respiration, quantum yield, light compensation, half-saturating irradiance for photosynthesis, and the photosynthetic rate at 1,400 μE m-2 s-1. We found photosynthetic flexibility to be high for early successional annuals, intermediate for midsuccessional species, and low for late successional species.

    Notes: Summary Six early successional plant species with differing photosynthetic pathways (3 C3 species and 3 C4 species) were grown at either 300, 600, or 1,200 ppm CO2 and at either 0.0 or 0.25 ppm SO2. Total plant growth increased with CO2 concentration for the C3 species and varied only slightly with CO2 for the C4 species. Fumigation with SO2 caused reduced growth of the C3 species at 300 ppm CO2 but not at the higher concentrations of CO2. Fumigation with SO2 reduced growth of the C4 species at high CO2 and increased growth at 300 ppm CO2. Leaf area increased with increasing CO2 for all plant species. Fumigation with SO2 reduced leaf area of C3 plants more at low CO2 than at high CO2 while leaf area of C4 plants was reduced more at high CO2 than at low CO2. These results support the notion that C3 species are more sensitive to SO2 fumigation than are C4 species at concentrations of CO2 equal to that found in normal ambient air. However, the difference in sensitivity to SO2 between C3 and C4 species was found to be reversed at higher concentrations of CO2. A possible explanation for this reversal based upon differences in stomatal response to elevated CO2 between C3 and C4 species is discussed.

    Notes: Summary Four coexisting annual plant species were grown in competition at three levels of CO2 (300, 600, and 1,200 ppm) and two levels of soil moisture (moist and dry). Plant height was higher at high CO2 concentrations for the three C3 species but not for the C4 species (Amaranthus retroflexus). Total community biomass increased with increasing CO2 at both soil moisture levels. The contribution of each species to total community biomass was influenced by CO2 concentration. The effects were especially pronounced for Polygonum pensylvanicum which contributed more to community production as CO2 and soil moisture increased. Amaranthus behaved in exactly the reverse way; it did best under ambient CO2 and dry soil moisture conditions. The results suggest that changes in competitive interactions and community structure will occur with the anticipated rise in global CO2 concentration.
