Photosynthetic acclimation is important for post-submergence recovery of photosynthesis and growth in two riparian species.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND AIMS:A meta-analysis of global change experiments in arctic tundra sites suggests that plant productivity and the cover of shrubs, grasses and dead plant material (i.e. litter) will increase and the cover of bryophytes will decrease in response to higher air temperatures. However, little is known about w...
