A Comparison Of Methods For Measuring Co2 And O2, Jake Nelson
Techniques and Instruments
Understanding the dynamics of respiratory gasses gives critical insight into the metabolic processes of a biological system. An efficient and effective means of measuring respiration is essential to understanding aspects of the biosphere. Many methods have been developed for measuring changes in CO2 and O2, both as integrated systems and as individual components. Many experiments use an alkali trap with subsequent titration as an inexpensive method for CO2 measurement. Haney et al. (2008) compared the titration method against infrared gas analysis (IRGA) and found them to be highly correlated, with r2=0.95. The use of …

Most shade adaptation occurred within two days during vegetative phase.
Up to 12 days were required for complete adaptation.
Different species adapted differently.
