Measurements and Calculations d13C of the net CO2 exchanged by a sunflower canopy during a diurnal cicle. Dark period indicated by the black bar
Measurements and Calculations D13C of a sunflower canopy during a 16-h light period
Measurements and Calculations D13C = 4.3 + 1.4 * NCE D13C = 4.3 + 1.4 * NCE D13C as a function of NCE of a sunflower canopy during the last 5 h of a 16-h light period
Canopy structure / species composition d13C of the net CO2 exchanged by a C3-dominated P. dilatatum/L. perenne canopy. Dark periods indicated by black bars.
Canopy structure / species composition d13C of the net CO2 exchanged by a C4-dominated P. dilatatum/L. perenne canopy. Dark periods indicated by black bars.
Labelling Dark period dI unlabelled dNCE –63.8‰ dI expected dNCE –19.5‰ dNCE (estimated from D13C before labelling) measured dNCE –41.5‰ • 50% of C respired during dark was fixed before labelling Lolium perenne grown at dI –49‰ labelled with dI –2‰
Labelling dI Light period unlabelled dNCE –67.7‰ dI expected dNCE –23.5‰ dNCE (estimated from D13C before labelling) measured dNCE –14.0‰ Lolium perenne grown at dI –49‰ labelled with dI –2‰
Labelling NCE = I - O NCE = A - R dAdRdNCE before labelling during labelling dA>>dR =>dNCE >dA • Respiration of unlabelled C during the labelling light period causes dNCE to be less negative, i.e causes a decrease in apparent D13C
Isotopic disequilibrium dI dNCE • d13C of the net CO2 exchanged by a alfalfa canopy established outdoors and after defoliation grown at dI –47‰. Dark periods indicated by black bars. • Respiration of unlabelled C during the light period causes dNCE to be more negative, i.e causes an increase in apparent D13C
