Abstract
A technique has been developed which permits measurements of photosynthesis and transpiration of single, attached leaves. The relative turgidity of leaves inside and outside the leaf cuvettes was used as a parameter of the microclimate and the gas streams so adjusted that internal and external values were the same. Some problems of using the technique in the field are discussed.
