FIGURE 6.
PAR response curves for NCE—whole-plant net carbon exchange (left panel, μmol m-2 s-1), whole-plant Transpiration (middle panel, mmol m-2 s-1) and WUE as NCE/E (right panel, μmol CO2 mmol-1 H2O). The relationship is shown for the three water treatments: white dots for “Watered” (measured in July 2017); black dots for “Drought” (measured in August 2017); gray dots for “Watered” (measured in September 2017). The boxplot inset in the right panel shows values of WUE for each treatment when PAR is >1,000 μmol m-2 s-1. Only data with PAR >50 μmol m-2 s-1 are shown.
