Species-independent down-regulation of leaf photosynthesis and respiration in response to shading: evidence from six temperate tree species.
The ability to down-regulate leaf maximum net photosynthetic capacity (Amax) and dark respiration rate (Rdark) in response to shading is thought to be an important adaptation of trees to the wide range of light environments that they are exposed to across space and time. A simple, general rule that...
