The physiology of grass production under grazing. I. Characteristics of leaf and canopy photosynthesis of continuously-grazed swards.

Published online: 01 Jan 1983

Authors: Parsons, A. J. & Leafe, E. L. & Collett, B. & Stiles, W.

Crop characteristics and the ratio between assimilation and transpiration.

Published online: 01 Jan 1976

Authors: Jones, H. G.

Content type: Journal article

Journal title: Journal of Applied Ecology

A simple model is used to calculate transpiration and assimilation rates for leaves or canopies. This is then used to investigate interactions between...

Published online: 01 Jan 1982

Authors: Leverenz, J. W. & Jarvis, P. G.

Content type: Journal article

Journal title: Journal of Applied Ecology

The insertion angle of the needles, their position on the stem, and their width had large effects on the uptake of 14CO2 by detached 'sun' and 'shade'...
