Principal component analyses of chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, gas exchange parameters, leaf nitrogen content, yield, and yield components of peanut in response to four biochar application rates. Means for flowering and pod set are for 2 years. Fv/Fm, maximal efficiency of PSII photochemistry after dark adaptation; ΦPSII, actual efficiency of PSII photochemistry after light adaptation; ΦNPQ, quantum yield for energy dissipated via Δ pH and xanthophyll-regulated processes; ΦNO, quantum yield of non-regulated energy loss in PSII; qP, photochemical quenching; NPQ, non-photochemical quenching; Pn, net photosynthetic rate; Tr, transpiration rate; Gs, stomatal conductance; Ls, stomatal limitation; WUE, water use efficiency; and LNC, leaf nitrogen content; B0, B10, B20, and B40 represent biochar application rates of 0, 10, 20, and 40 t ha−1, respectively.
