GPP = {f(D)f(T)f()

f(CO2)}*APAR

“Productivity” equation

Constraints to photosynthesis

= Aleaf / PAR

Maximum potential photosynthesis rateCanopy quantum efficiency

Aleaf = ca (1- ci/ca) * gleaf

Light supply and light capture

Page 5: Next week’s assignment:

CO2 moves from the air to the leaf to the chloroplast by diffusion (but really CO2 moves both directions)

At the same time, H2O vapor moves out of the leaf by diffusion (but really H2O vapor moves both directions)

Page 6: Next week’s assignment:

Ca = external CO2 concentration

(note that this leaf has stomata only on the “abaxial” or bottom side. Some leaves also have stomata on the adaxial, or upper surface. Leaves with stomata on both sides are called “amphistomatous”)

Ci = internal CO2 concentration. This value can be measured (indirectly) with common gas exchange instruments

Some definitions ….

Page 7: Next week’s assignment:

CO2 diffuses into leaves, moving “down” a concentration gradient

Ca = 370-400 ppm?

Typical CO2 concentration of a C3 plant at midday is about 270-300 ppm

The CO2 concentration at the site of fixation approaches “zero”

Page 8: Next week’s assignment:

The diffusive movement of CO2 into and out of a leaf can be described by Fick’s Law:

Net flux = concentration * conductance

(a membrane or barrier with a “conductance” to substance “x” = gx)

Net flux of “x” = Fx

[xo] = concentration of “x” on the “outside” of “barrier”

[xi] = concentration of “x” on the “inside” of the “barrier”

Fx = ([xo] – [xi]) * gx

Page 9: Next week’s assignment:

• Conductance is a PROPERTY of leaf, kind of analogous to its “porosity” to CO2 or H2O vapor. It is NOT a “rate”!!!

Conductance is the inverse of resistance. Both quantities are commonly used. The symbol “g” is commonly used for conductance, “r” for resistance

gH2O = conductance to water vapor

gCO2 = conductance to CO2

gs = stomatal conductance (usually to water vapor)

gl = total leaf conductance (usually to water vapor)

The units used for conductance and resistance can be very confusing -

Page 10: Next week’s assignment:

Applying Fick’s Law to carbon assimilation :

Net C assimilation = (ca-ci) * gleaf

Or: Aleaf = ca (1- ci/ca) * gleaf

(Norman 1982; Franks & Farquhar 1999)

Page 11: Next week’s assignment:

Factors affecting net assimilation (A) and stomatal conductance (gleaf):

• Vapor pressure deficit, D (that is related to the humidity of the air)

• Soil Moisture, • Temperature, T

Aleaf = ca (1- ci/ca) * gleaf

f(D, )f(T)

Page 12: Next week’s assignment:

Factors affecting net assimilation (A) and stomatal conductance (gleaf):

• Vapor pressure deficit, D (that is related to the humidity of the air)

• Soil Moisture, • Temperature, Temperature, TT

Aleaf = ccaa (1- (1- ccii/c/caa)) * gleaf

f(D, )f(T)

Page 13: Next week’s assignment:

Humidity and vapor pressure deficit

The portion of total air pressurethat is due to water vapor is

water vapor pressure (ea)

measured in kPa

Page 14: Next week’s assignment:

When air has no extra capacityfor holding water, the vapor pressure

is termed:saturation vapor pressure

(es, units kPa)

Saturation vapor pressure is mostly a function of air temperature

When air temperature falls withouta change in water content, the

point of condensation is called thedew point temperature

Page 15: Next week’s assignment:

Relative Humidityis the ratio between actual

vapor pressure (ea)and saturation vapor pressure (es)

RH = ea/es

Vapor Pressure Deficit (D)is the difference between saturation

vapor pressure (es)and actual vapor pressure (ea)

D = es - ea

Page 16: Next week’s assignment:

Stomata respond to the vapor pressure deficit between leaf and air (D). Stomata

generally close as D increases and the response is often depicted as a nonlinear

decline in gs with increasing D.

Stomata respond to the vapor pressure deficit between leaf and air (D). Stomata generally close as D increases and the

response is often depicted as a nonlinear decline in gs with increasing D.

If D <1, then gleaf/gleaf-max = 1 Aleaf/Aleaf-max = 1 / max = 1

If D > 1, then gleaf/gleaf-max= -0.6 LnD +1 Aleaf/Aleaf-max < 1 / max < 1

GPP = {f(D)f(f(TT)f()f() ) f(COf(CO22))}*APARAPAR = Aleaf/PAR

Aleaf = ca (1- ci/ca) * gleaf

Page 19: Next week’s assignment:

Stomata respond to changes in soil moisture ( ). During water

shortage, when drops below ca. 0.2, gleaf declines gradually

down to very low values

GPP = {f(f(DD)f()f(TT)f(CO)f(CO22))f()}*APARAPAR

If T <20C or T> 30 C, then ci/ca = ? Aleaf/Aleaf-max = ? / max = ?

If 20 C<T <30C, then ci/ca = ? Aleaf/Aleaf-max = ? / max = ?

GPP = {f(f(DD))f(T)f(CO2)f(f())}*APARAPAR

= Aleaf/PARAleaf = ca (1- ci/ca) * gleaf

ci/ca respond to changes in temperature (T). Under low or high T, ci/ca increases gradually

to high values
