CO 2 assimilation by Dryas integrifolia on Devon Island, Northwest Territories
In situ measurements of CO 2 assimilation by Dryas integrifolia at different stages of development and under different environmental conditions were made on Devon Island, Northwest Territories. Dryas can fix CO 2 in excess of respiration over a 24-h period under conditions of clear nights and cloudy...
