- (
- K
- leaf
- ) were monitored in a field-grown tropical tree
- species in an attempt to ascertain whether the dynamics of
- stomatal conductance (
- g
- s
- ) and CO
- 2
- uptake (
- A
- leaf
- ) were
- associated with short-term changes in
- K
- leaf
- . On days of high
- evaporative demand mid-day depression of
- K
- leaf
- to between
- 40 and 50% of pre-dawn values was followed by a rapid
- recovery after 1500 h. Leaf water potential during the
- recovery stage was less than
- -
- 1 MPa implying a refilling
- mechanism, or that loss of
- K
- leaf
- was not linked to cavitation.
- Laboratory measurement of the response of
- K
- leaf
- to
- Y
- leaf
- confirmed that leaves in the field were operating at water
- potentials within the depressed region of the leaf ‘vulnerability
- curve’. Diurnal courses of
- K
- leaf
- and
- Y
- leaf
- predicted
- from measured transpiration, xylem water potential and
- the
- K
- leaf
- vulnerability function, yielded good agreement
- with observed trends in both leaf parameters. Close correlation
- between depression of
- K
- leaf
- ,
- g
- s
- and
- A
- leaf
- suggests that
- xylem dysfunction in the leaf may lead to mid-day depression
- of gas exchange in this species.</p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block" border="0"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Article</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Additional Information:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">"The definitive version is available at www.blackwell-synergy.com"
