Abstract
A portable field system for simultaneous measurement of transpiration and CO2 exchange from leaves of fruit trees is described. CO2 concentration is measured by means of infra-red gas analysis, using small gas samples collected in syringes. Methods for analysing small gas samples are compared. The leaf chamber described can also be used in a conventional laboratory open gas-exchange system, its small volume permitting measurement of very rapid changes in gas exchange in response to experimental stimuli. Este artículo describe un sistema portátil para medir simultaneamente transpiración e intercambio de CO2 en hojas de árboles frutales en el campo. Para medir la velocidad de fotosíntesis se colectan pequeñas muestras de gas en jeringas y se inyectan al analizador de gases de luz infra-roja. Se comparan varios métodos para analizar las muestras. Se describe la cámara de absorción de CO2 utilizada, la cual puede tambien incorporarse a un sistema abierto convencional, su pequeño volumen permite detectar cambios rápidos en el intercambio de gases cuando se producen alteraciones en el ambiente.Keywords
