Recovery rate of the performance index (PIabs) of photosystem II, and non-cyclic and cyclic photophosphorylation activities (NCPSP and CPSP, respectively) in Pogonatum cirratum subsp. fuscatum and Hypnum plumaeforme exposed to the indicated amount of N addition, with or without low temperature stress after a 10-day-recovery period (+LTS and −LTS respectively).

Data are presented as means ± S.D. (n = 3). Different letters indicate significant differences between samples exposed to various levels of N addition under each temperature treatment (p < 0.05, one-way ANOVA, LSD test). Data in bold format represent significant differences with 0 (p < 0.05, t-test).
