The studies have been interrupted by a two weeks maternity leave and 9 month research assistant position at the Biosystems department at RISØ-DTU. My supervisors Helge Ro-Poulsen and Teis N. Mikkelsen were always helpful with ideas, resources, and feedback when ever needed. In line with my supervisors I would like to express my gratitude to Anders Michelsen giving me extraordinary feedback all the way. I have been very fortunate to be a part of the physiological ecology research group that has been my scientific playground and room for many fruitful discussions. Thanks to Esben Vedel Nielsen, Gosha Sylvester, Niels Bruun, Karna Heinsen, Karin Larsen and Svend Danbæk for help with laboratory and IT work. In the CLIMAITE project group I have experienced a unique interdisciplinary teamwork of researchers in an open minded atmosphere, combined with ambitions and common research goals. This has been a platform for development, research and teamwork, and I have felt to be part of a research effort pushing insight far further than individually studies could have done. Thanks to all CLIMAITE members, the ph.d group and in particular thanks to project leader Claus Beier providing trust and resources into this ph.d project.

  • Calculating Canopy Stomatal Conductance from Eddy Covariance Measurements, in Light of the Energy Budget Closure Problem Richard Wehr1, Scott

Calculating Canopy Stomatal Conductance from Eddy Covariance Measurements, in Light of the Energy Budget Closure Problem Richard Wehr1, Scott. R. Saleska1 1Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Arizona, Tucson, 85721, U.S.A. 5 Correspondence to: Richard Wehr ([email protected]) Abstract. Canopy stomatal conductance (gsV) is commonly estimated from eddy covariance (EC) measurements of latent heat flux (LE) by inverting the Penman-Monteith (PM) equation. That method implicitly represents the sensible heat flux (H) as the residual of all other terms in the site energy budget — even though H is measured at least as accurately as LE at every EC site while the rest of the energy budget almost never is. We argue that gsV should instead be calculated from EC 10 measurements of both H and LE, using the flux-gradient formulation that defines conductance and underlies the PM equation. The flux-gradient formulation dispenses with unnecessary assumptions, is conceptually simpler, and provides more accurate values of gsV for all plausible scenarios in which the measured energy budget fails to close, as is common at EC sites. The PM equation, on the other hand, contributes biases and erroneous spatial and temporal patterns to gsV, skewing its relationships with drivers such as light and vapor pressure deficit. To minimize the impact of the energy budget closure 15 problem on the PM equation, it was previously proposed that the eddy fluxes should be corrected to close the long-term energy budget while preserving the Bowen ratio (B = H/LE).

  • Stomatal Conductance Has a Strong Dependence Upon Humidity Deficits
    Stomatal conductance has a strong dependence upon humidity deficits 1 There is no universal function between stomatal conductance and humidity deficits. Some plants are more sensitive than others Hall et al 1976. 2 Other data show complex interactions between humidity deficits, transpiration and stomatal conductance…leading others to consider feedback and feedforward response. 3 4 Monson and Baldocchi 5 Feedbacks, negative and feedforward, help explain the observations in data. Simplest case, stomata are constant and transpiration increases with humidity deficits. The other extreme is that stomatal conductance closes non linearly with humidity deficits, reaching an asymptotic decline. Then one would expect a diminishing returns behavior. But it seems that stomata operate with a feedforward behavior, leading to a parabolic behavior in transpiration with increasing humidity deficits. This behavior is best described with the model that couples transpiration, leaf energy balance, photosynthesis and stomatal conductance. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/c7/Control_Systems.png/450px- Control_Systems.png Farquhar 1979 discusses the role of feedforward and feedback effects on the coupling between humidity deficits, stomatal conductance and transpiration feedforward. The distinction between feedback and feedforward is made clear in Fig. 1. In both cases a change A(Aw) in the humidity difference, Aw, between the inside of the leaf and the ambient air is the perturbation from outside the system. Feedback occurs (Fig. la) when a change, AE, in the rate of transpiration causes a change, Ag, in leaf conductance which in turn affects the transpiration rate. Feedforward 6 Farquhar and Jones are among those arguing in terms of feedforward rather than feedback effects on stomata, humidity and transpiration.

Morphogenetic and physiological studies are scarce in bamboos, and tissue culture-based biotechnologies tools can be used to investigate ultrastructure and physiological processes as well as to mass-propagate specific genotypes. This study evaluated the effect of light and dark conditions on chloroplast biogenesis as well as in the endogenous levels of zeatin (Z), abscisic acid (ABA), gibberellic acid (GA4), and jasmonic acid (JA) during in vitro culture of G. chacoensis. An increase was observed, followed by a decrease in starch content in response to light treatment, and in contrast, in darkness, an accumulation of starch which is associated to amyloplast formation at day 30 was observed. No etioplast formation was observed even in the dark and this was associ- ated with the presence of fully developed chloroplast at the beginning of the experiment. Z levels quantified showed distinct behavior, as in light, no difference in the levels was observed, except at day 10, and in darkness, the levels increased along the evaluation time.

Quantification of stomatal responses to environmental variables, in particular to soil water status, is needed to model carbon and water exchange rates between plants and the atmosphere. 2. Models based on stomatal optimality theory successfully describe leaf gas exchange under dif- ferent environmental conditions, but the effects of water availability on the key optimization parameter [the marginal water use efficiency (WUE), k = ¶A ⁄¶E] has resisted complete theoreti- cal treatment. Building on previous optimal leaf gas exchange models, we developed an analyti- cal equation to estimate k from gas exchange observations along gradients of soil water availability. This expression was then used in a meta-analysis of about 50 species to investigate patterns of variation in k. 3. Assuming that cuticular water losses are negligible k increases under mild water stress but decreases when severe water stress limits photosynthesis. When cuticular conductance is consid- ered, however, k increases monotonically with increasing water stress, in agreement with previ- ous theoretical predictions. Moreover, the shape of these response curves to soil water availability changes with plant functional type and climatic conditions.
