Title: | Seasonal, Diurnal and Vertical Variation of Chlorophyll Fluorescence on Phyllostachys humilis in Ireland | Authors: | Van Goethem, Davina De Smedt, Sebastiaan VALCKE, Roland Potters, Geert Samson, Roeland |
Issue Date: | 2013 | Source: | PLOS ONE, 8 (8), (ART N° e72145) | Abstract: | In recent years, temperate bamboo species have been introduced in Europe not only as an ornamental plant, but also as a new biomass crop. To measure adaptation stress of bamboo to the climate of Western Europe, chlorophyll fluorescence was measured on a diurnal and seasonal basis in Ballyboughal, Co. Dublin, Ireland. Measurements were attained on the leaves of each node of Phyllostachys humilis. The most frequently used parameter in chlorophyll fluorescence is the photosynthetic efficiency (Fv/Fm). A seasonal dip - as well as a larger variation - of Fv/Fm in spring compared to the rest of the year was observed. Over the year, the upper leaves of the plant perform better than the bottom leaves. These findings were linked to environmental factors such as light intensity, air temperature and precipitation, as increased light intensities, decreasing air temperatures and their interactions, also with precipitation levels have an effect on the photosynthetic efficiency (Fv/Fm) in these plants. | Notes: | Van Goethem, D (reprint author), Univ Antwerp, Dept Biosci Engn, B-2020 Antwerp, Belgium. davina.vangoethem@ua.ac.be | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/15501 | ISSN: | 1932-6203 | e-ISSN: | 1932-6203 | DOI: | 10.1371/journal.pone.0072145 | ISI #: | 000323378000083 | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2014 |
