Net Assimilation Rate Determines the Growth Rates of 14 Species of Subtropical Forest Trees. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Growth rates are of fundamental importance for plants, as individual size affects myriad ecological processes. We determined the factors that generate variation in RGR among 14 species of trees and shrubs that are abundant in subtropical Chinese forests.

Net Assimilation Rate and Agronomic Efficiency of Nitrogen in Tartago (Ricinus communis L.) (Euphorbiaceae) in Dry Climate [PDF]
Scientifica, 2020 To know the dynamics of net assimilation rate and the agronomic efficiency of nitrogen in the Tartago crop, seeds of three accessions were collected in Teotitlán de Flores Magón, Oaxaca, Mexico. The treatments consisted of nitrogen fertilization of 0, 20,

A Method of Calculating Net Assimilation Rate [PDF]
Nature, 1963 A USEFUL measure of the photosynthetic efficiency of plants is ‘net assimilation rate’ (E) defined by Gregory1 as the rate of increase of dry weight (W) per unit of leaf area (L); that is: In measuring W the plant is destroyed, so changes in W can be determined only by successive ...

Elevated Carbon Dioxide and Chronic Warming Together Decrease Nitrogen Uptake Rate, Net Translocation, and Assimilation in Tomato [PDF]
Plants, 2021 The response of plant N relations to the combination of elevated CO2 (eCO2) and warming are poorly understood. To study this, tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants were grown at 400 or 700 ppm CO2 and 33/28 or 38/33 °C (day/night), and their soil was ...

Optimization of leaf morphology in relation to leaf water status: A theory. [PDF]
, 2020 The leaf economic traits such as leaf area, maximum carbon assimilation rate, and venation are all correlated and related to water availability. Furthermore, leaves are often broad and large in humid areas and narrower in arid/semiarid and hot and cold ...

Leaf and Community Photosynthetic Carbon Assimilation of Alpine Plants Under in-situ Warming
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The Tibetan Plateau is highly sensitive to elevated temperatures and has experienced significant climate warming in the last decades. While climate warming is known to greatly impact alpine ecosystems, the gas exchange responses at the leaf and community
