Summary: | Measurements of CO2 and water vapor flux using eddy covariance are being made from a 40 m tower located in a transitional tropical forest near Sinop Mato Grosso. As complementary information to this study, the photosynthetic light response curves of three species located near the tower were measured at different heights in the forest canopy and light conditions with the objective of understanding seasonal and spatial (height in the forest canopy and gap or shade located plants) trends in the photosynthetic light response. The measurements were made in a canopy emergent tree (30 m tall) identified as Brosimum lactescens, and in two relatively short plants (0.6 to 1.6 m height) identified as Quiina pteridophylla and Diniszia excelsa located in different light condition. Measurements were made from the end of 2000 dry season to January 2002. These data suggest that species response to seasonal variations in rainfall are variable. In addition, shade plants have a higher quantum yield (A) and a lower estimated gross photosynthesis at saturating (photosynthetic active radiation - PAR) (Amax) than gap plants, presumably because shade plants are adapted to lower average light levels. |

Measurements of CO2 and water vapor flux using eddy covariance are being made from a 40 m tower located in a transitional tropical forest near Sinop Mato Grosso.

The measurements were made in a canopy emergent tree (30 m tall) identified as Brosimum lactescens, and in two relatively short plants (0.6 to 1.6 m height) identified as Quiina pteridophylla and Diniszia excelsa located in different light condition. Measurements were made from the end of 2000 dry season to January 2002. These data suggest that species response to seasonal variations in rainfall are variable. In addition, shade plants have a higher quantum yield (A) and a lower estimated gross photosynthesis at saturating (photosynthetic active radiation - PAR) (Amax) than gap plants, presumably because shade plants are adapted to lower average light levels. |
