Photosynthetic adaptation ofSolanum dulcamara L. to sun and shade environments. III. Characterization of genotypes with differing photosynthetic performance.

abstract：:An "environmental productivity index" based on physiological responses to three environmental variables was used to predict the net productivity of a common succulent perennial of the Sonoran Desert, Agave deserti, on a monthly basis. Productivity was also independently measured in the field from dry weight changes. T...
