Gas Exchange Of Four Viburnum Species, Lisa Gayle De Berg
Dissertations and Theses @ UNI
In the natural environment, a plant's gas exchange and water use efficiency characteristics in response to environmental stresses such as vapor pressure deficit, temperature, light intensity, and water potential may vary according to physiological and morphological species differences, leaf types (deciduous or evergreen), and habitat types (northern and southern). In the field, laboratory, and growth chamber, the effect of vapor pressure deficit, temperature, and light intensity on gas exchange characteristics was investigated for four woody shrub species from the genus Viburnum. The species under investigation include: y. rhytidophyllum (northern evergreen), y. awabuki (southern evergreen), y. dentatum (northern deciduous), and y. …
