A comparison of methods for excluding light from stems to evaluate stem photosynthesis. [PDF]
Abstract Premise A comparison of methods using different materials to exclude light from stems to prevent stem CO2 exchange (i.e., photosynthesis), without affecting stem conductance to water vapor, surface temperature, and relative humidity, was conducted on stems of avocado trees in California.

Abstract Subduction of bathymetric anomalies (e.g., an active ridge) can alter the morphology of subducted slabs and their coupling to surface processes. A natural laboratory to study these effects is the subduction of the Oceanic Chilean Ridge beneath the South American plate, which led to the formation of the Patagonian slab window. Its formation and
