It has been 75 yr since leaf respiratory metabolism in the light (day respiration) was
identified as a low‐flux metabolic pathway that accompanies photosynthesis. In principle, it …

Gas exchange measurements enable mechanistic insights into the processes that underpin
carbon and water fluxes in plant leaves which in turn inform understanding of related …

The global land surface absorbs about a third of anthropogenic emissions each year, due to
the difference between two key processes: ecosystem photosynthesis and respiration …

Light respiration (RL) is an important component of plant carbon balance and a key
parameter in photosynthesis models. RL is often measured using the Laisk method, a gas …

Evaluating leaf day respiration rate (RL), which is believed to differ from that in the dark (R
Dk), is essential for predicting global carbon cycles under climate change. Several studies …

Our ability to predict temperature responses of leaf respiration in light and darkness (RL and
R Dk) is essential to models of global carbon dynamics. While many models rely on constant …

Leaf daytime respiration (leaf respiration in the light, RL) is often assumed to constitute a
fixed fraction of leaf dark respiration (RD)(ie a fixed light inhibition of respiration (RD)) and …

C4 photosynthesis involves a series of biochemical and anatomical traits that significantly
improve plant productivity under conditions that reduce the efficiency of C3 photosynthesis …

Leaf respiration in the light (R light) is crucial for understanding the net CO2 exchange of
individual plants and entire ecosystems. However, R light is poorly quantified and rarely …

Although it powers photosynthesis, ultraviolet‐A1 radiation (UV‐A1) is usually not defined as
photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). However, the quantum yield (QY) with which UV …
