Corticular Photosynthetic Dynamics for a Coastal Evergreen Shrub: Myrica Cerifera

Corticular Photosynthetic Dynamics for a Coastal Evergreen Shrub: Myrica Cerifera

I quantified seasonal variations in corticular photosynthesis in 1st through 5th order branches of Myrica cerifera L. (Myricaceae) in order to determine whether corticular photosynthesis contributes to whole plant carbon gain by reducing respirational CO2 loss. Maximum % refixation was 110 ± 39 % o...
