Acclimation of Foliar Respiration and Photosynthesis in Response to Experimental Warming in a Temperate Steppe in Northern China
Table 2
Warming effects on the responses of An (the net CO2 assimilation rate), Rd (dark respiration), Ag (the gross CO2 assimilation rate), Vcmax (the maximum rate of Rubisco carboxylation) and Jmax (the maximum rate of photosynthetic electron transport) expressed per unit foliar area and nitrogen to instantaneous change (10–40°C within a 5 h period) in Tleaf (foliar temperature) in the dry growing season (2010).
