ALT Portable instrument used to measure net carbon dioxide exchange rate between the soil surface and the air. The system is called the Soil Respiration 1000T by ADC BioScientific Ltd, UK. www.adc.co.uk
ALT Researcher in India using the LCi-T photosynthesis system by ADC BioScientific Ltd taking leaf CO2 and H2O flux measurements under ambient conditions. The broad leaf chamber on the handle is covered by a transparent radiation shield that absorbs infrared radiation to minimise the effects of heating. Features include GPS-tagged readings, an adjustable (0-2,500 micromoles/sqm/sec) white or R-G-B PAR LED and 10 swappable chambers to measure gas flux from soil or plants (leaves, pods, stems, spikelets, whole plants). Used in over 1,250 scientific publications. See more here: https://www.adc.co.uk/products/lci-t-portable-photosynthesis-system/

ALT The Automated Photosynthesis System is shown here with the controller in the background beside one Automated Plant Chamber and two Automated Plant Chambers at the front. The controller can run up to 10 chambers. The chambers are programmed to close onto the leaf held in position by the guide rods. Once measurements are taken, the chambers open to keep the leaves exposed to ambient conditions. This helps to reduce microclimate effects due to keeping leaf chambers closed throughout long experiments. This instrument is new (2024) and the first of its kind. It is useful for measuring the diurnal variations in photosynthesis rates under controlled environment conditions. #co2 #photosynthesis #transpiration
ALT Species variation of Cp and its relationships with leaf morphology. a Specific heat capacity (Cp) in 13 plant species. b, c Relationships between Cp and leaf water content (b, %) and leaf mass per area (c, LMA). The color of each dot indicates the species (colors as in Fig. 3a). Data shown in a-c represent means ± SE (n = 8). Due to data loss, data from pumpkin are not shown in Fig. 3b&c
