Diurnal photosynthesis cycle in CAM and non-CAM seasonal pool aquatic macrophytes Diurnal photosynthesis cycle in CAM and non-CAM seasonal pool aquatic macrophytes
Seasonal pools undergo marked diurnal changes in pH, free carbon dioxide, and oxygen levels. Previous studies showed that Isoetes howellii utilized crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) photosynthesis as a means of assimilating carbon at night when ambient carbon dioxide levels are high. However, much of the pool flora is not CAM. We hypothesized that coexistence under extreme carbon...

The relationship between stable oxygen and hydrogen isotope ratios of water in astomatal plants The relationship between stable oxygen and hydrogen isotope ratios of water in astomatal plants
Isotropic fractination of leaf water during transpiration is influenced by both equilibrium and kinetic factors. Previous workers have predicted that the influence of each factor varies depending upon the path of water loss,m whether centralized through stomata, or diffuse through the cuticle. We studied the relationship between the δD and δ18O values of lead and stem waters of laurel...
