Abstract:Photosynthetic rate ( Pn ) in the leaf of Ardisia quinquegone with high density increased as enhancement of irradiation ( PAR ) in high CO 2 concentration (700μl/L).The initial slope of Pn / PAR decreased from 0.037 to 0.017 as leaf water potential ( Ψ ) decreased from -0.92kPa to -2.00kPa,or apparent quantum yield ( α A ) decreased by 54.0%. α A decreased by 22.2% and 19.4% in the leaves of Phychotria rubra and Schima superba with moderate stand density,respectively whe...
