Table 2.

Settings of temperature and light conditions during gas-exchange measurements at the three altitudes

Location Altitude (m a.s.l.) Measuring temperature (°C) Measuring light (μmol m2 s−1) NP (% max)
Bocas del Toro 0 29 500 76 ± 5
Palo Seco 500 25 400 75 ± 3
Fortuna 1200 22 300 65 ± 9

Temperatures during measurements approximated ambient temperatures at the three locations.

Light intensity was near saturation for photosynthesis, based on the modelled maximum rate of photosynthesis of each species (means ± s.d.).
